Digitrax provides walk around radio control via trackside receivers that relay the commands to the command station. The commands are then mixed with commands coming from wired throttles and sent to the track. Digitrax makes a full line of DCC decoders for small and large scale use. Their designs are mostly aimed at track powered DCC, not direct radio control. They also make sound and function decoders that are designed to work in tandem with a regular motor and function decoder. These are called the "Soundbug" series however, their audio output power is really too low for outdoor use

However, there are three models of decoders that are specifically intended for use in large scale locomotives and an inexpensive HO sized decoder that will work in SOME smaller large scale equipment..

Digitrax decoders follow the NRMA standards that were defined at the time each decoder was built. They will work with any DCC command station. The newer ones are full featured with a complete programming set and work quite well. However, the older ones don't do so well and have some problems
