ESU (Electronic Solutions Ulm) is a major German manufacturer of digital
systems and components for the model railway industry compatible with Mäklin,
DCC and SelecTrix digital formats. They also produce a wide range of sound
and non-sound decoders which are used in just about every European
manufacturer's models today. ESU also developed the first generation of
Märklin Systems' Central Station 60212, Mobile Station and mfx decoder
technology. The quality of their decoders and digital systems is very
high. Over the past 8-10 years of our installing ESU Lokpilot and Loksound
decoders into thousands of locomotives, I have seen decoder failures on fewer
than ten units and these were all covered under warranty. I have
personally used the ESU ECoS Command Station on one of my layouts for several
years and it has been completely reliable. The only drawback I found
was not having Märklin's locomotive database available made for a little more
work adding locomotive pictures manually.
ESU includes a power supply with their Command Stations and Boosters. This
is a big bonus because one does not have to spend additional funds purchasing
power supplies at additional cost for each unit. Those funds are certainly
more enjoyable when spent on a new locomotive, right? ESU also offers a
great radio control throttle for wireless train control. Click on the item
