About LocoNet: LocoNet is Digitrax's two-way control network that connects throttles, boosters, command stations, detection blocks, and signal modules across a layout — using standard 6-conductor RJ12 telephone cable. The two-way communication is what enables advanced features like transponding (knowing which loco is where), real-time slot status, and CV read-back from anywhere on the system.
About Digitrax: Digitrax is North America's leading manufacturer of DCC systems and has been the architect of the DCC standard since the 1990s. The proprietary LocoNet control bus is the most widely-supported throttle and accessory interface in club layouts worldwide, and Digitrax decoders / boosters / command stations are fully NMRA DCC compliant and interoperable with all NMRA-compliant DCC equipment.
