POWERHOUSE PRO ™ 5 Amp DCC System

See our shop special offer for a great deal including this system.

The Powerhouse Pro is probably the most user friendly DCC system on the market. Other DCC systems require remembering button sequences and computer hexadecimal numbers to accomplish the simplest tasks. The ProCab™ walks you through every operation with clearly labeled buttons and well thought out menu prompts in plain English on the back lit LCD display. The most often performed operations are usually just a single key press. The Powerhouse Pro has everything you need to get DCC controlled trains up and running (except power transformer which we can provide). It includes the user friendly ProCab™, Command Station with integral Five Amp power unit, a fascia panel, connecting cables and manual. The Quick Start Guide in the system reference manual will have you up and running in less than 20 minutes. Should you ever need it, the entire system can be easily upgraded by simply replacing a single program memory chip (no returns to the factory!). An RS-232 port is supplied for those wishing to add computer control to their layout.

POWERHOUSE PRO-10™ 10 Amp DCC System

The PH-10 has all the same features as our Powerhouse Pro 5 Amp system described above but with 10 amps of power for O-Scale and Large Scale (G) layouts.  A 10 amp transformer is also available.

Includes: CS02 command station, PB110 power booster, ProCab one D408SR decoder and manual.

Not recommended for smaller scales.

ADDITIONAL HANDSETS

PROCAB™

The deluxe cab provides user friendly access to advanced system features. Uncomplicated menus on the easy to read, back lit LCD display guide you through the most advanced operations with a minimum of fuss. This cab is ergonomically designed to correctly fit both left and right handed operators. The speed controls are placed directly where your thumb naturally rests - comfortable even after long operating sessions. We provide both a thumb wheel knob and repeating push buttons for speed control. Control of single or multiple turnouts, animated accessories and lights is simple. It's easy to set up multiple heading and assign them to other cabs or control them yourself. A RECALL button allows control of 1 to 6 trains per cab without the need to insert loco numbers. Use this cab to access the programming track or the advanced "programming on the main" capabilities of the NCE Powerhouse Pro. The ProCab is sound system friendly and supports all DCC compatible sound units.

CAB04p Engineer Cab with potentiometer

The CAB04p is ideal for operating sessions as an Engineer's cab. It provides easy selection of locos/consists, single button operation of all decoder functions, momentary HORN button, selection and control of individual turnouts or entire routes (via the MACRO key) and our unique OPTION button that can be programmed to act as any button you wish, even ones on a much larger cab. A large control knob (300 degrees rotation) provides smooth speed control. The cab can also be set to 'Yard' mode which makes the speed knob act as a 'center off' speed control. Ideal for one handed switching in the yard.

CAB04E Engineer Cab with encoder

The CAB04e has all the features of the CAB04p above plus the ability to switch instantly between two trains. A large knob provides speed control through a Digital encoder with adjustable 'ballistic tracking'. The faster you turn the knob the faster it will ratiometrically increase or decrease the speed.

Boosters provide additional track power for large layouts where the power consumption of locomotives and accessories exceeds the capacity of existing boosters.
