Hi,
Anyone used one?

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 ?
Cheers

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

Removed because they did not relly serve any real purpose/

Large system ........... Track

I like the automated idea of them at a station.
