Could A 3 Pin Digital Decoder Be Made?

Sammler

Registered
I sent an email to Massoth a couple of days ago asking them if they could make a Digital Decoder for older 3 pin motor blocks, but wasn't sure if it would even be possible?

Would there be anyway of designing a new type of decoder that could control the speed and direction of the motor just by using the ground wire? I've read that DCC is almost like an AC voltage so perhaps there would be some way of controlling which side of the motor the voltage goes into?
 
The problem is you need to isolate the motor completely from the track power pickups, so that the decoder can control polarity of power to the motor independent of the track. A 3 pin block relies on one side of the motor being connected directly to the pickups, which is why you have to modify the block to isolate that common side of the motor and add the 4th wire.
