- | An early form of Command Control for model railways, Zero 1 was launched in 1979 and systems incorporating the technique were marketed by Hornby and Hammett and Morgan. Now obsolete, having been overtaken by the DCC system, Zero 1 pioneered the concept of controlling model railway motors by establishing a constant track power source that included control signals to define locomotive identity, speed and direction. The MERG series of Technical Bulletins CC1 written when Zero 1 was popular, remain an important source of information and techniques on this system. A MERG kit 71 is still offered which provides replacement parts for Zero 1 system keyboards. Some of the DCC decoders supplied by ZTC Controls Ltd can also be used with the Zero 1 system. | + | An early form of Command Control for model railways, Zero 1 was launched in 1979 and systems incorporating the technique were marketed by Hornby |
