DCC

Many of our customers have adopted Digital Command Control (DCC) as a means of operating their railway. Others are considering the pros and cons for their own particular situation, and yet others have decided that DCC is not for them.

It is a very personal choice and we believe that there are some very intelligent people out there, who are extremely well meaning souls, but who have made the world of DCC a minefield for the average railway modeller.

We think that DCC is a very useful application and that the vast majority of modellers will be quite content to get their DCC feet wet, by staying close to shore and not getting bogged down in the quagmire that DCC can become, if you let it!

DCC does allow you to operate more than one train, from just one controller and does allow you to take advantage of the full range of DCC Sound that is available today. DCC also SHOULD make wiring the layout much simpler as you do not need to get involved in block wiring.

There is a large amount of information on the internet, but if you want to get an understanding of the more obvious benefits of DCC and need help in deciding what level of sophistication you might need on your layout, we are here to help.

We do sell DCC control systems, loco decoders, accessory decoders. We will install decoders in locomotives for you. We can demonstrate DCC for you in our store.

The DCC related products listed in this section are the main items we carry, but we can order in just about any DCC equipment you might need.
