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 Hornby Select and Elite units are capable of having connected to them up to 7 Select Walkabout units. The addition of these units to the Select and the Elite does provide independent control of up to 8 locomotives providing electrical power is available.

Using the Walkabout units in this way makes it also possible that a locomotive can be passed from one controller to the next and then the next in much the same way as a full size train is handled on the main line as it passes from one section to the next.

Remember! Antics Price includes mainland UK delivery!

Up to eight of these units can be connected to a single Select or Elite Digital controller allowing for independent management of a further eight locomotives providing power is available. It is not necessary to connect a power pack to the Walkabout when used in this way.
