ABC Modules are available from a number of suppliers, here we are looking at ones from Lenz (BM1), LaisDcc (860065) and dcc-decoders.com

These have been tested using a Lenz Silver decoder and a Lokommander (train-o-matic) decoder only.

See the attached image for ABC module installation, the wiring was the same for all. (to follow)

The CV's that need changing are different on each decoder.

For the Lenz Silver;

(to follow)

To have an intermediate stop you will need a Lenz BM2/BM3 module (there may be others).

For the Lokommander;

This was tried with a new decoder, so do not know if it will work on older decoders (unless they have been updated).
Read in conjunction with the Lokommander manual (chapter 12.2).

The CV's changed were;
CV 27 = 1
CV 142 = 5 (i.e. 5 seconds, increase as desired)
CV 122 = 19 (to work with the attached diagram)

To have an intermediate stop you will need a Lenz BM2/BM3 module (there may be others), this will be covered separately.

Other decoders like Zimo have ABC braking, as soon as one has been tested l will add the details here.
