HO-Gauge Rolling Road Premium Edition – 10 Axle - DCC concepts
The HO Gauge Rolling Road is designed to be very easy to use and exceptionally reliable. We use only high quality materials so you can expect many years of trouble-free use.

Installation and use.
The Rolling Roads work equally well with DC or DCC power.

• As delivered, your Rolling Road is ready to use on 16.5mm gauge OO/HO or similar track. Also included spacers for UK prototype fine scale gauges.


• For two rail track power use, place the Gold plated roller sets onto the track at an appropriate spacing. The rollers will pick up power directly from the track so you can now place your loco onto the rollers.


• For 3-rail track power use for Hornby Dublo, Trix Twin or Märklin AC locos, two 3-rail adapters are included. They are fixed to the blue spacers which have been pre-made to accept them using the screws provided. Leave the screws slightly loose to you can easily adjust roller spacings. Once screwed in place, the alligator clip fixed to the centre-pickup plate should be attached to the centre power rail of your 3-rail track.

• Please use the screwdriver that we have provided with your DCCconcepts Rolling Road as the correctly sized magnetised tip makes this much easier for you.


• Slip the gold end caps off & replace the 16,5mm spacers with those for EM or P4, then carefully replace the screws. (Do not over-tighten the screws).

• Keep the track area that will be used with your rolling road clean so that it can transfer the power reliably.


• Clean as needed. Please do not use abrasive cleaners.


• The stainless-steel roller-bearings are pre-lubricated but you can of course add a little fine oil if you wish.

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 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.
