and TAM Valley’s Dead Rail
System.
Each of these two systems
have advantages and disad-
vantages as we see it.
The Stanton System comes
with a basic handheld wire-
less DCC throttle, but it’s
pretty basic. You can’t access
all the CVs in sound decod-
ers with it, for example.
On the plus side, the Stanton
system comes with a nice
battery circuit board that
steps up the power, allowing
you to use a smaller, lower
voltage battery.
And even better, the
Stanton system has the
capability to charge the bat-
tery from the rails.
With TAM Valley’s DRS-1 sys-
tem, you add a transmitter
to your existing DCC system
and you can use your current
DCC system throttles to send
wireless DCC signals to the
DRS-1 receiver in the loco.
