Hornby DCC Select Controller

Product Code: R8213

Production Details:

The future of model railway control is here with the latest and best Hornby Digital Command Control System. The new Hornby system differs from the conventional type of 12v controllers in as much that it is the individual locomotives that are controlled internally rather than the controlling a locomotive's speed and direction by varying the current to the track. The Hornby Select Digital Controller is the perfect way to enter the digital world of model railways. The Select is capable of having control of over 60 locomotives and, providing power is available, run at any one time, 10 of them. The Select can also operate 40 accessories including point motors.

Gaugemaster Prodigy Express Starter Package

Product Code: DCC01

Production Details:

For a newcomer to DCC or for the operation of a smaller layout, this system is a great choice. Comprising of a Base Station, Walkaround, and Power Supply, this system is packed with features but is above all, incredibly easy to use and allows you to run your railway without fuss. With 1.6 amps, there is enough power to keep things interesting but its best feature is its sheer ease of use. Some other budget systems have the control on the console, but with this system the lightweight and comfortable Walkaround allows you extra mobility. You can add an additional handset to your system (DCC14) to unlock extra functions and point control. If you wish to extend your EXPRESS system, this is easily achievable by adding a Prodigy ADVANCE Walkaround, as is adding Wireless capability by using the DCC51 Wireless conversion set.
Not as powerful as its older brother Prodigy ADVANCE and without the ability to operate accessories in its current format, this system might not suit the more experienced modeller, but for the newcomer or someone keen to try DCC at a competitive price, this should be a system worth consideration.

Gaugemaster Prodigy Advance2

Product Code: DCC02

Production Details:

PRODIGY ADVANCE2 consists of three elements. The POWER PACK transforms the power from your mains socket ready for the Base Unit. The BASE UNIT is the brains behind the operation. It contains all the technology you need to send DCC commands to your trains and accessories. However, short of turning the power on and off, you'll find your closest companion is the Walkaround controller which plugs straight into the Base Unit. The WALKAROUND is a hand-held controller that you use to send your commands to the Base Unit, which then sends them on to the relevant decoder on your layout. You control the speed and direction of your trains from here. One of the key features of DCC operation is that each of your locomotives has a numeric address which you select as and when you want to run that locomotive. DCC allows you to run it anywhere on your railway at the same time as other trains are moving as well. You can operate points (individually or route set) and signals from the Walkaround. You can use it to programme your decoders to replicate the running characteristics of your locomotives, or even introduce a speed clock that allows you to run a 24 hour timetable within one operating session. The possibilities are almost endless with DCC and with locomotives becoming available with factory-fitted decoders as standard, we are entering an exciting new era. Of course, you can also retro-fit your older locomotives with decoders if you wish.  This controller will run between 7-8 locomotives simultaniously and control 28 loco functions.

SEEP Digital Solenoid Point Motor

Product Code: GMC-PM10D

Production Details:

The PM10D point motor has been created to make installation and wiring as easy as possible for all modellers in all scales.

The decoder can be detached from the point motor so it can be attached directly to the point. Then with the screws provided just mount the decoder to the underside of the board.
However, DC modellers have not been forgotten - At Gaugemaster we understand that while ALL modellers want easy wiring, many who still prefer to drive their trains with DC need simple wiring too, so the PM10D has also been designed to be 100% DC compatible!
