Following the successful trial of DCC at the AGM, the Society has purchased an NCE PowerCab for the Test Track and this will now form a standard part of the Test
track functionality for both the EM and P4 tracks.
All members wishing to test their DCC locos are invited to do so at the Spring expoEM at Bracknell.
If you wish to try out your loco’s momentum and braking settings without it plunging off the end of your home based test plank then you are welcome to do so safe in the knowledge that at Bracknell it will just keep going round !
Also if you are interested in the potential of DCC but wary of spending serious money just on the off-chance that it might suit you, then it is quite possible there could be a DCC sound equipped loco on the test track for you to try out to help you make up your mind without any pressure to buy.
