                                               Mr P Salter - Analogue Control Box

We are able to supply dedicated Control Panels for Analogue Control or DCC. The panel pictured above is for an Analogue Railway. We also specialise in control panels for DCC Railways. These of course do not need all of the switches but still retain the Stud and Probe Point  Control System. This is much faster, easier to learn and therefore more efficient than DCC point control. Where necessary on either system we build in Diode Matrix to simplify route setting. This again speeds the process and overcomes the frustration of having to change menus and remember point numbers when using DCC. Our panels are fitted with CDU, capacitor discharge units. This ensures the points fire every time and protects the points against burn-out.

For large DCC railways we are able to build mini control panels that replicate the signal boxes arranged along the track on real railways. You can therefore drive the train from box to box, changing the points as you go and controlling the Loco by plugging the hand-held controller into each box as required.  DCC is fabulous for Loco control with its multiplicity of functions including superb lights and sound systems but we believe that a good Stud and Probe Point Control System will always be more fun and easier to operate.
