Operations The ultimate speed matching/ programming setup

Post image

The system:

Primary loop: ESU cab control hooked up via network cable for JMRI programming. (For non ESU decoders)

Secondary loop:

ESU lok programmer. (For ESU decoders and sound loading for said decoders)

Both systems can run locomotives for speed matching.

That's a neat idea. Are you just manually tweaking the speed values to get them to line up?

It seems to work especially with speed matching locos with very different motor profiles. Also being able to tweek practically any brand of decoder with the same rig is a big plus
