About the DCC-EX Project¶

Who is behind all this? And will they ever face justice? Who knows, but the following is a list of those names associated with taking over Gregg Berman’s original DCC++ BaseStation Project, and rewriting/expanding it into EX‑CommandStation and the wider DCC-EX project.

First, a special thanks to Gregg E. Berman, who had the original idea for a model railroad Command Station using an Arduino Uno and a Motor Driver.

If you wish to get in touch with the team, try our Discord server as the first preference, and you can also find some of the team on the DCC++ Forum on TrainBoard.
