Upgrading from one system to another can be either very low cost, or very expensive - depending on what system you have, what system you want to upgrade to, and how many throttles you have. Many of these upgrades require you to purchase another booster. In this case, you can use your current booster for additional track power or auto-reversing. If you don't need it for either of these things, you can sell it, or have us sell it for you with our consignment service.

Upgrading from another brand requires the purchase of a Digitrax starter set.

The Throttles and Command Station will not be usable with a Digitrax system. However, non-Digitrax boosters can be used as slaves if wired properly. If you need to do this, check with us for the proper wiring. If we don't already know how to do it, chances are we can find out for you. Or, you can sell the boosters along with the throttle and command station, and get more Digitrax boosters for slaves. Of course, all your existing decoders will work just fine.

After you upgrade to a Digitrax system, we can help you find a buyer for your used equipment. You can check out our listing service here, but basically we advertise your equipment, and when a potential buyer calls we provide them with your name and number. At that point, we're out of the loop, and whatever deal you make with them is between you and them. We ask no compensation for this service.

What will you gain? Compare the feature list for the system you're considering with the system you now have.
