Stationary Decoder

Stationary (or Accessory) Decoder controls stationary accessory devices such as switches and building lights.

See Tony's selection of Stationary Decoders.
See comparison of Stationary Decoders.

Stationary decoders cost between $50 and $85. Some control more than one accessory and some allow you to use either slow motion (Tortoise™ type) switch machines or solenoid (Atlas Snap type) switches.

If you want to build these yourself, printed circuit boards and instructions are available from the DCC Working Group.
