A very simple to use 1.5Amp DCC system.

The best solution for a small layout or anyone starting out with DCC. Extremely easy to setup and most people can be up and running in 10 minutes. Usually 1 or 2 operators and using a fascia-mounted panel for the 2nd operator. Maximum of 4 cabs. The Power Cab must be plugged in to run the layout.

Full featured system with both POM and Programming track capability.

Supplied complete with PCP fascia panel and UK 13.5V PSU

The Power Cab is a complete self contained starter set with 1.5 amp capacity and a DCC track voltage of 12.8 volts. The Power Cab is suitable for Z, N, HO, S, O, and On3 scales. Using the numbers above we can guesstimate that the Power Cab has the capacity for about 4 HO-scale locomotives or 8 N-scale locomotives running at the same time. You do not count locomotives on the track but not running. You can add up to 3 additional NCE cabs of any kind for more operators or locations.

The possibilities for upgrades and expansion after the Power Cab is installed are endless.

I have had my power cab now for 4 years and having tried all the other brands still feel it is the most user friendly offering superb control with ease and flexible use. Several friends have converted to NCE after using my power cab. I use the standard power supply which will happily run 3 of my 0 gauge sound fitted locos at once. Highly recommend this unit.

Best Dcc controller ive had, a very good starter and far superior to the normal dcc controllers that come with the train sets that you buy.Easy to use and even tells you how much amps you are using on the layout and very easy to program cv's with.10 out of 10 is my score.

Mr Christopher -

I had been considering taking the plunge into DCC for a couple of years or more and had taken every opportunity to learn as much about it as possible before commiting myself to a system. I had always had a liking for the NCC system but at the time there was no-one who imported it into the UK. Consequently, the other system I to which I had given serious consideration was Lenz, largely due to its gaining popularity in the UK and an increasing number of UK suppliers. I downloaded both manuals and read each from cover to cover. What finally swung my decision in favour of the NCE system? Two things in the main. Firstly, I have an aversion to multi-function buttons. The NCC system uses a button for each task and, what is more, they are sensibly grouped. The only change I would personally make is to swop the 'Option' & 'Recall' buttons, most people being right-handed. That, however, is just a personal observation and others will no doubt disagree.Secondly, the display is the easiest to read that I have come across and also the easiest to understand. This makes the whole process very intuitive.I currently only have a small test layout on a 'plank'. However, with this sytem and Zimo decoders in a half a dozen locos, I am still able to derive a great deal of satisfaction from the fine control afforded to me. I have not been disappointed with this sytem. I don't know of anyone who has been and I don't think you will be either.Steve Williams
