We have a range of DCC control systems available, suitable for any DCC application. Bachmanns' EZ-Command system offers excellent functionality at a budget price with up to 10 locomotives. We recommend this unit for those wanting to try out DCC and for starter layouts. The new Dynamis system offers the full power of DCC, able to operate hundreds of locomotives and accessories from wireless handsets, ideal for walk-around control. Hornby offer the Elite controller, equiped with two control knobs this system makes it easy to control two trains at once. Finally, for those wanting to exploit the full flexibility of DCC we have the Lenz range available with the option of LH90 with a control knob, or LH100 using push-button control, ideal for those with expanding layouts and locomotive fleets.
Most DCC controllers can supply sufficient current for two trains, however as your layout expands and you have more trains running you may find you need to supply more power. The additional amplifier or booster unit is used to provide a greater current than the controller can supply alone.

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.
