The first decoder with RailCom (ZIMO’s in market now) actually costs the same as the replacement without RailCom. RailCom costs about 0.03 cents in additional parts for the decoder and more software. The micro-processor used in the decoder has to have enough power for the additional functions. Fortunately these new micros are now available at no increase in cost.
