Upgrade
Gaugemaster
Prodigy Express
The Gaugemaster Prodigy Express is based on the full power Prodigy but deletes some of its
functionality (Accessory control). It also has much lower power power output, so an ugrade
that will increase its abilities in these areas will be welcomed by many.
As with other entry level sets, adding more power and easy-to-use accessory control with
Cobalt
D
Box
, plus Cobalt
D
Alpha or Cobalt
D
Central is worthwhile - and VERY easy to do.
Here is how to do it, connection by connection...
PS: This is a ZERO waste upgrade too, because if you change brand later, your Cobalt
D
Box
,
Cobalt
D
Alpha or Cobalt
D
Central will all still work perfectly with it!
Also connect either
Cobalt
D
Alpha or
Alpha
D
Central.
Use the Curly Cord
supplied with them.

Accessory Control)

You CAN also extend the
Control/ DCC Data bus!
If you have a Prodigy Express and
want to add a Control bus using
the RJ45 sockets then you can.
Please use the advice on Page
22 for Gaugemaster Prodigy.
Connect any kind of
DCC Accessories to
your new track bus
and control them with
Cobalt
