DCC Variable Speed

[Chrissaf]

Hi welcome to the site.

What you are asking is called asymetric control.

See this article for info.

The basic BM1 modules are easy to make yourself as they are a simple 5-diode loop.

see here ...

... noting that it works best with fast switching diodes and you need an ADCC/ABC compatible decoder.

 

You can also do it in software such as Railmaster, JMRI, Rocrail, iTrain, etc.

Hello,

As a relative newcomer please could anyone advise me on whether it is possible with DCC to vary the speed (power) going to a loco so that it accelerates / decelerates at specific locations on the track and then retains this pattern throughout the route? In other words, so that it repeatedly slows when approaching and passing through stations or accelerates (increases power) when ascending or reduces power when descending. If this is possible, which DCC controller would you recommend? Thank you
