DCC Concepts - Rolling Road (Multi-Gauge) 4 Axle

Product Code: DCM-RRA4

Production Details:

DCCconcepts Rolling Roads are very easy to use… You simply place them on the track (spaced ready for your locomotive). Incredibly versatile, they help with running in, testing and evaluation of locomotive performance, active cleaning of driving wheels, simpler DCC Setup and all kinds of tweaking to be achieved in front of you, on the desk or workbench. Our Rolling Roads are very versatile too – While they come pre-set for 16.5mm or OO/HO track, we include in the pack full sets of spacers for each of the following track gauges. Change takes only moments with a small screwdriver and doing it is easy and problem free for novice and expert alike.

We have also thought about those collectors and modellers who enjoy and are preserving the history of our hobby by running the 3-rail models that really kick-started our hobby. So – to make sure our rolling roads are universal, we have added into all 4, 8 & 12 packs an adapter that is suitable for both Marklin and Hornby Dublo 3-rail use… so now everyone really IS taken care of!

Gauges: ● 9mm or N scale, 009 and HOn30/HOe (or HO scale 3’ gauge), ● 10.5mm or HOn3 scale, ● 12mm or TT, HOm (Metre gauge) (or HO scale 3’6” Narrow gauge), ● 16.5mm or HO, OO and On30 gauge, ● EM and P4 finescale spacers are available on request.

DCC Concepts - AE Model Frog Power Control for DCC

Product Code: AET-FPC.1

Production Details:

AE Model Frog Power Control (Single Pack). Traditional solenoid turnout motors often have a real shortcoming… they are not equipped with a way to reliably change the polarity of the turnout frog unless you buy an expensive mechanical switch to add to them, which in turn means harder installation, and, because of the added load when the turnout changes, operation becomes less reliable. The AE Model Frog Power Control unit fixes these problems economically with 100% success and almost zero effort. Even better, unlike other “frog juicers”, there is no need for added soldering. Just connect the frog and track power wires as shown in the diagram – 1, 2, 3 done!
1) Connect the two terminals labelled “R” to your track bus.
2) Connect the terminal labelled “F” to your turnout “frog”.
Developed with advice from the real DCC experts, the AE Model Frog Power Control makes installation easier, limits the possibility of voltage spikes on your track bus and removes the risk of unwanted short circuits.
