DCC-EX Model Railroading

Version 4.1.2 Released

DCC-EX is a team of dedicated enthusiasts producing open source DCC solutions for you to run your complete model railroad layout. Our easy to use, do-it-yourself, and free open source products run on off-the-shelf Arduino technology and are supported by numerous third party hardware and apps like JMRI, Engine Driver, wiThrottle, Rocrail and more.

If you are just starting your journey with DCC-EX then the sections below are designed to help you understand how our products might suit your needs. We’ve curated this guidance based on feedback from our users:

• What is DCC and DCC-EX?

• I’m interested in DCC but have a very small budget

• I just want to run my trains

• I want to operate my turnouts/points and run DCC trains

• I want to control all my accessories and run DCC trains

• I want some extra automated/animated realism

• I want a fully automated exhibition layout for my club

If none of these sections have helped, or you’ve read them and are still confused as to how DCC-EX might help you, then feel free to contact us, preferably through our Discord server where you can chat directly with our team members. You can find the contact methods on our Contact Us page.
