The Block Occupancy Detector BOD-20, is rated at ten-amps and is used to send detection to either our AIU-01 or most common signal systems from other manufacturers.

With the BOD-20 there is no electrical connection to the track. The track wire is merely fed through a hole in the BOD-20. Locomotives trigger the detector because they draw current through the decoder, un-powered rolling stock will require some means such as a resistor wheel set.

The detector can be used with any booster up to 20 amps capacity. A LED can be added for simple indication of the status of staging tracks or progress through a helix. The LED will require a external power supply of 5 to 15 VDC to power the LED.

AIU-01 Auxiliary Input Unit Each auxiliary input unit AIU-01, collects up to 14 signals from either the block occupancy detector, BOD-01, or auxiliary contact's switch machine or other devices and forwards this information to the command station via the cab bus.

For those hobbyist that purchase Dispatcher,  the combination of these two devices will allow addition flexibility in CTC or automatic operation on the model railroad.

The Switch-it is the economical Stationary Decoder for Tortoise or Switchmaster Slow Motion Switch Machines. Each decoder come with two outputs and supports a full range of DCC addresses [1-2044]

Each machine can have a independent address and has connections for "local" control push buttons.

Size 54 mm x 33 mm [2.1" x 1.3"]

The NCE Snap-It stationary decoder will operate a single snap action turnout motor, and is specifically designed for low current motors such as Atlas, Lifelike, Bachmann, etc., but it will operate high current machines such as the Rix & Peco with a additional capacitors ad or the use of an external power supply.

The Snap-It supports address ranges from 1 to 2044 and is programmed on the main. Pushbutton inputs are provided for manual switch operation.

The new version 3 snap has been tested and found to operate the Peco point motor and accessory switch when installed with the Peco snap action turnout.

Size 46 mm x 38 mm [1.80" x 1.50"]

Stationary decoder for 8 Tortoise Switch Machines.

Simple hook up just 2 wires to the power bus and two wires to each slow motion motor. Easy addressing, no need to connect to a programming track with each output being able to have its own separate address, maximum flexibility.

Switch-8 remembers settings even during power outages. Support full range of DCC accessory addresses [1 - 2004]

The UTP cab bus panel provides a low cost means of adding walk around capability to your layout. The panel has 4 RJ-12 connectors wired in parallel, two on the front and two on the rear.

Your cab bus can be "daisy chained" from one panel to the next using the rear connectors. One or two cabs can then be plugged in to the front connectors. A 12v DC plug is provided at the rear to allow external power to the Cab bus to be added for runs over   60' [20 meters]

Recommended for heavy duty club usage and low cost  Your cab bus can be "daisy chained" from one panel to the next using the rear connectors.

One or two cabs can then be plugged in to the front connectors. A 12v DC plug is provided at the rear to allow external power to the Cab bus to be added for runs over 60' [20 meters]

The NCE Clock simply plugs into and NCE Cab Bus to display the current scale time held in the command station.

Great for yards were the shunters need to know the current scale time but are running with the intermediate or basic cab.

The EB3 allows a existing single booster to be split into 3 separate output, not more complete layout shutdowns in the event of a short circuit.

The EBs features selectable 2,3 & 4 amp outputs for each district. Easy hook up using a screwdriver with LED status outputs. Additional opto isolated circuits are to provided to feed signal circuits or control panel indicators. Short circuit response time and power up times are provided to accommodate start up of sound decoder equipped locomotives.

EB3 will not operate with the System One boosters.

Finally a affordable Decoder Tester. Quickly determine if a fault existing in a decoder before or after installation. Test all types of decoders and 4 function outputs. Separate motor terminal provided.

Fully check your decoders before installation, save time and effort.

Auto SW - Disconnects mainline when in programming mode.

When the PowerCab is in "USE PROGRAM TRACK" you can end up programming all your locomotives. The Auto SW will automatically disconnects the mainline and activate a separate programming track preventing programming command being sent to the main line.

Works with other DCC systems such as Digitrax Empire Builder, Big Boy or Challenger.

Circuit protection for up to 6 sections of your railroad. Operates with ANY DCC system. Factory set to 1 Amp per section. Sections can be connected together for more power per section. Optional lamp packs  for 1.75 Amps per section also available, refer price list.

Add a separate PCP panel to operate your Power Cab in other places or on other layouts, with a separate Trans 02 and you will only to move the Power Cab from test bench to layout.

Mini Panel - While we were finishing the Macro Panel, the Mini Panel was invented. It will be a simpler device (macros and accessories only).
