North Coast Engineering (NCE) has been
manufacturing DCC Products on an OEM basis since 1993. Originally
they offered only “chip sets” that contained software enabling other
DCC manufacturers to build DCC systems. As time went on some of
those manufacturers asked us to first supply partial assemblies then
complete assemblies in addition to the chip sets. This has helped
NCE to grow into a full time electronic design and manufacturing
firm devoted entirely to the development and sale of products for
the control of model railroads. NCE build an amazing array of
products for both our own customers, other DCC manufacturers and
locomotive manufacturers. NCE keep labour costs low by utilizing
modern automated robotic assembly for most products. Recently, they
have more than doubled their manufacturing space and taken an option
on an additional area to more than triple it.
The NCE Product catalogue of DCC
Starter Sets includes:
Power Cab:
This 2 Amp system can operate 2 or 3
HO sized trains, or 4 N scale trains. This cab provides all of the
capability and ease of use that you’ve heard about in our Power Pro
system, at an entry level price. Installation is a snap. Hook two
wires to your track and plug in the cab. You’re off and running
trains! The Power Cab kit contains: Power Cab, 7' Power Cab Cable,
PCP Power Panel, Power Supply, Pro Cab Coiled Cord, and Manual.
PH-Pro:
This 5 Amp starter set has everything
you need to get DCC equipped trains up and running (except power
transformer, see P515). It includes the user friendly Pro Cab. You
can be up and running in less than 20 minutes.
PH-Pro R:
The Power Pro-R starter set is a radio
equipped Power Pro system. It is designed to eliminate the need for
a tethered throttle. All features of the Pro Cab are usable while in
radio mode. Up to 60 additional radio and tethered cabs can be used
simultaneously.
PH-10:
The PH-10 has all the same features as
our Power Pro 5 Amp system described previously, but with a whopping
10 Amps of power for O-Scale and Large Scale (G) layouts. Requires
an additional 18V, 10-12 Amp power supply.
PH-10 R:
The Power Pro 10-R is a radio equipped
system. It is designed to eliminate the need for a tethered
throttle. All features of the Pro Cab are usable while in radio
mode. Up to 60 additional radio and tethered cabs can be used
simultaneously.
PH105 Booster:
If you need more power than the Power
Pro alone can supply, the PB-105 supplies 5 Amps of continuous
voltage to your track. Enough to handle very large lash-ups of
locomotives and still have reserve capacity. Recommended for Z
through S scales.
PB110 Booster:
10 Amp Power Booster recommended for
O, G and other large scales. The PB-110 provides true 10 Amps of
continuous voltage to your track. Enough to handle Multiple Units of
the largest locomotives.
