Digitrax systems use LocoNet™ and the ‘hardware’ of throttles and boosters is fully compatible with any system that uses the LocoNet protocol, such as Ullenbrok, CML and Fleishmann Twin.

NCE uses a 4 wire RS-485 cab bus with RJ12 connectors and is compatible with existing Wangrow systems.

The effective result of this is that you choose the system you prefer and run whichever mobile or accessory decoders you want with it. In deciding which system to use it is important to consider future expansion and whether you intend to have complex block detection and signalling systems; the protocols used for block detection may affect your choice of system.

Zephyr: Basic DCC but with the features most railway modellers want

The Zephyr Set is ideal for entry level use, giving basic train operation for up to 10 throttles and trains. It includes:
· DCS 50 All-in-one Command Station/Booster/Throttle (2.5 amps)
· LT-1 Test Kit and complete manuals
NB: The European version of the Zephyr is supplied without a transformer, allowing use of an existing 15v 2½-3A transformer. Alternatively, we can supply a suitable one; these options are reflected in the two prices for the Zephyr.

- Simple to use with numeric keypad and LED display.
- Supports up to 9 additional throttles and 10 locomotive addresses.

- Easy decoder programming with built-in read/write programmer.
- 2 jump ports let you use 1 or 2 smooth DC power packs as throttles to control DCC locomotives.
- Safe for Z to HO/OO scales. See note on mobile decoders for Z scale operations.
  See note on mobile decoders for Z scale operations.
- Easy to expand: you can add IR throttles, receivers and boosters to the LocoNet system.

The manufacturers describe it as the most user-friendly DCC system on the market, in that the throttles have clearly labelled buttons and well thought out menu prompts in plain English, and the majority of the most often performed operations require just a single key press. There are two systems:

Power Cab: basic system

This compact 2 amp system is designed for Z to OO/HO scale layouts. It will run 2 or 3 OO/HO locomotives or up to 4 N scale ones. The combined commander station and throttle enables you to programme decoders, operate lights and sound, and more.

Powerhouse Pro: advanced system

The Powerhouse Pro comes in two different power specifications: 5 amp (for Z to S scale) and 10 amp (for O scale and larger).

It includes:
· Command Station
· ProCab throttle
· Reference manuals

NB: For running in the UK an MT10 5A transformer is recommended, which we can supply from our ALL Components range.

- Suitable for small home layouts to large club ones, and can be upgraded by swapping a single programme memory chip.
- Simple to use throttle with numeric keypad and LCD display. Thumbwheel operated digital encoder with adjustable ballistic tracking rate.
- Supports a maximum of 63 throttles with up to 10,000 locomotive addresses, and up to 250 simultaneous trains.
- Can handle a range of 2,044 accessory addresses.
- Supports computer control by the addition of an RS-232 port (supplied).
- Power station gives a continuous output current of 5.14 amps with automatic short circuit shutdown and recovery. Output voltage adjustable from 9.5v to 18v (factory default is 14.25v).
- Add the PB105 five amp power station or PB205A dual five amp power station for added capacity/booster in scales Z to S.
- The PB110 ten amp power booster has automatic reverse loop capability and is recommended for O, G and other large scales.
