Choosing a DCC system & NCE Procab One Handed Operation MVI_1255.AVI

The throttle is the interface between you and your train.
Choose a DCC system that you are comfortable with the throttle as youl'll have it in your hands, a lot.. All DCC systems run trains independantly, so a the way the throttle feels is very important..
With the "operating" buttons on the NCE Procab "strategically placed on the throttle, it allows ONE handed operation of the train while your other hand is free to operate the turnouts/points, hold your uncoupler and/or Car Cards etc. Try this with other throttles

A Transformer is required for most DCC systems as an extra cost. See the individual DCC systems for what's necessary.

The NCE Power Cab comes complete with a Power Supply, while the NCE Power Pro (pictured) requires a P515 Transformer.

Program the applicable CV using either of the programming modes - on the Program Track or On the Main (POM). All sound decoders use different CV numbers for overall and individual volumes. See the applicable sound decoder manual.

Programming a CV using the Procab using "On the Main" is as easy as pressing the PROG/ESC button, then pressing 2 for CV then enter the CV number, then the value. See the NCE website for the Procab or system manuals for more details

Sound decoders can have up to 28 functions that can opertated by the user that include many light outputs that can be used to operate Headlights front and rear, Marker (Classification) lights, Cab, Gyra, Beacon, Ditch, Mars etc Lights amd many sounds like Horn/Whistle, Dynamic Barkes, Brakes, Coupler, Steam Blowoff (long and short), Water Stop, Injector etc sounds.

See the Tsunami from Soundtraxx and Titan (14 Light Outputs) from QSI Manuals for what are included in each of their decoders.

Yes, as do most DCC systems.

Turnouts must be controlled by a Turnout Motor like a Tortoise etc and these motors are controlled by an applicable Accessory Decoder.

Selecting a Turnout is the the same as selecting a loco, you have to "dial up" the Accessory Decoder's address, in the case of NCE, in the range of 1 to 2044, after pressing the "Select ACCY" button and selecting 1 or 2 for the required position of the Turnout.

what kind of sound decoder are you using i like that whistle

[apollo300350]

@train1321

A Soundtraxx Tsunami Light with a Reading 6 Chime Whistle,

For me this is the most appealling Whistle out of the 8 provided. I model the NSW Australian prototype so I'm not going to get the exact Whistle, so I choose the one I like the most..
