I think the 1 to 9999 range on the decoders is so you can put the train's number into the system. VERY COOL! I haven't gotten (...) (23 years ago, 11-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)

I'd assume the decoders burn ~1.5-3V internally, but I am not sure. (...) Then, you (...) (23 years ago, 13-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
