Solid Brass Power Distribution Bars (2 Pack) - DCC concepts


 

AD-2fx is a 2-output DCC accessory decoder for Cobalt type motors and similar devices.

It tolerates a very wide track bus voltage range and offers exceptionally low current draw while static. It is designed to connect straight to track power or your accessory power bus.

The accessory decoder is easy to install, set up and connect to your layout systems.
It can also control multiple point motors on each of its 2 outputs.

Because it has low power needs there is no real need for added boosters just for point motors.

Having directly controlled panel lights for signals plus feedback makes it something special and when it is connected to Cobalt Classic Ω or Cobalt iP Analog, the combination adds two more changeover switches, making it possible to control almost anything you can think of with nothing extra to buy or install.
 

4x 2-wire LMS/BR Ground Signal – A pack of 4 x 3-lamp plug and play signals in 4mm scale (OO), supplied with NO control board.

The DCD-GS-BR.4 is the classic 3-lamp ground signal. It was first introduced in the mid 1930’s and spread far and wide. Most are still in use today. This makes it a great choice for layouts of many prototypes and periods.

Use as add-on for Alpha Mimic control signal systems OR use independently if you wish. Please note: If used with other power sources, resistors MUST be added – a selection of these are INCLUDED with this 4-pack

Cobalt α Alpha Power is a well regulated filtered 5 AMP DC power supply which can deliver a super smooth 18v DC at the input terminals of your DCC system, Cobalt α Alpha Central or similar digital device.

It really does not matter which brand of DCC you use – while DCC concepts has “design matched” Cobalt α Alpha Power to their Cobalt α Alpha range, it has also been tested with all of the main DCC systems from “Starter Sets” to full-feature 5 amp systems, and it consistently gives great results with most brands. The only exception is Digitrax Zephyr which requires a lower voltage.

There are 3 different types of rolling roads: 4 , 8 and 12 axles.

 

O-Gauge Rolling Road Premium Edition – 6 Axle - DCC concepts

The DCC concepts O Gauge Rolling Road is easy to use and reliable.

Installation and use.
The Rolling Road works well with AC, DC & DCC.
To make adjusting spacing easier every roller contains a strong Neodymium magnet to allow easy adjustment and to hold it in place.

To give the magnets something to work with "magnetic plates" are included in the set. They are etched to represent wooden planks so the can be installed on your layout. Secure these with silicone or contact-type adhesive in an appropriate position on top of the sleepers and between the rails.

Once the plates are secured, place the Roller sets over them at an appropriate spacings and connect the track power. The Roller sets will collect power directly from the rails so you are now ready to go.

Place your locomotive on top of the Roller sets and control it as if it was on the track. It will operate in place allowing examination for service, careful adjustment of decoder set-up or running in of a new Loco.

Service and Maintenance

Keep the track area that will be used with your rolling road clean so that it can transfer the power reliably.
DCCconcepts Roller sets have been gold plated, so they will never tarnish and always conduct power reliably. (Please – do not use abrasive cleaners. A quick wipe with alcohol or similar is all that will ever be needed)
The stainless-steel roller-bearings are pre-lubricated but you can of course add a little fine oil if you wish.
