DECODERS

All ZIMO decoders are fully NMRA-DCC compatible.
ZIMO decoders have a reputation among serious model railroaders for many years to be the best performing decoder. 3-way adjustable back-EMF, nonlinear momentum, 40 kHz frequency and user-activated software-upgrade are just a few of the sought after features found only in a ZIMO!

ZIMO decoders are working not only with the ZIMO system, but also with other NMRA-DCC compatible equipment.

They are available for all scales from N to G and can be programmed in service or operations mode.
