LocoBuffer USB or PR3

[Ian MacMillan]

Its that time that I need to get a PC connection for LocoNet. I have been looking at the PR3 and LocoBuffer. For only $3 between the two of them I'm kinda in the air as to which one would be the better buy.

Ideas from the mass who have or have used either?

I have a locobuffer usb and I like it a lot. I used to have a Digitrax MS100 but that only works with Windoze. LocobufferUsb works with Linux  ;D ;D (I use Linux not Microsoft's Windows). I sold the MS100 on TradeMe.

LocoBuffer USB
Used in conjunction with the JMRI software suite (especially decoder pro) it's a very powerfull and versatile combination.
Complete layout monitoring and control, plus decoder programming abilities and a whole lot more.

Looking forward to getting this running.

JMRI and Railroad & Co Bronze is installed on the layout computer. Just waiting for the LB which should be here today and the BD168's which should be here in a few days so I can try this out. I've used them all on other layouts, but it will be nice to see what it can do on mine.
