Not personally. But I have seen them in use on another local line that was a couple of years back, since then they have been removed, I guess that unless you have a large & complex system they do not really justify the expense.

I do not have any.

AFAIK to use the "breaking" facility on DCC you will need to use it in conjunction with a LGB/Massoth booster - even more expense.

Do you know why they removed it?
As in large system do you mean track or dcc ?

I've been reading the istructions on massoth site and you are correct.
Also just realised that the Massoth booster has it built in.

I like the automated idea of them at a station.
