Aegis is a wonderful enhancement to my model railroading experience. The power increase has made all elements of my layout more responsive. The programming track is very easy to engage and protects other equipment out on the main. Well done.

Hi. Just wondered if this can be used to operate TrainTech red/green signals? I have a micro layout with just the one point motor and two light signals, and operating these through my NCE PowerCab can be cumbersome. Thanks in advance

Does anyone know why the lights go out ?- thx

How would this be used to control a peco SL-E99 three way point? It has two point motors and has combinations that have to be correct and in the right order to work

Is that a foam roadbed from Woodland Scenics that the tracks are mounted on? It doesn't look like cork or like it has been ballasted.

​Hi .... Question: are the HO DCC Axle Bearing Reamers have reamers on both ends, eliminating the need to ream then flip and ream again? Thanks ....... In this video by DCC, at 2:13 it shows both sides are reamed Thanks ​

This is a game changer. Unfortunately, your American reseller has none in stock.

When fitting stay alive & bringing a loco to a controlled standstill does this then have to be compensated for?

Do u still make these ?

True, excuse my impatience. Yes, they have kindly answered my questions. I'm sorry again. I am now getting to know their products and am very satisfied with the ones I have already purchased.

I don't understand how you could produce a video like this without showing it in use, so a potential buyer could see how large it is and how the fingers get around it! Crazy!

do you have info on adding the detailing? what Glue is best, how to paint the number plates, etc, etc

This is every bit as simple as it looks. I'm very impressed with this control, even tho we're using full dcc! 😊

Darn it - missed it by 11 minutes after an early departure from Carlisle! Good catch!

And to think Beeching and everyone else wanted to close it. It fascinates me how short sighted some people can be.

Do the springs have to be removed from the points, or can you leave them in?

Thankyou Jenny new to all this going to buy a set right now from Rails thankyou.

Well ive bit the bullet and bought this, a bit shopping about and good saving can be made on RRP,considering cost of modern stay alive sound fitted locos worth investing in this.

I have a load of digital Ip motors on my layout. i can change them using my digitrax hand controller. I fail to see any benefit of this at all with a dcc layout.

lose the "music".....

can you also use this system with your Cobalt-SS Above-Board Point Motors?

What’s this chaps name? Been working closely with you guys on a project and love to put a face to the name …. Other way round lol

How many points will this system support?

I recently bought four of these and found them to be very noisy. Checking the posts of others on various sites, it turns out that this is/was a fairly common problem. You can quite easily open the machine by undoing the four screws. In the process, you'll have to slice through the labels. I didn't have any grease available to me, so I put very small drops of locomotive lubricating oil on each of the gear wheels and also on the places in the moulding that fit over their axles. I then re-assembled the machine and the noise was reduced, but not nearly completely. I then made them switch back and forth a number of times. It seemed that after sitting for a while the machine operated with less noise. I also tightened the housing screws, as they had originally been, but backed off a quarter turn. I don't know which of these was the most important, but the machine is now operating as quietly as the Tortoise machines which I also have in use. I'm going to repeat this process on the other machines. In the one that I have opened, there was some white grease on the wheels, but not much.

Very interesting, can I use this with my various articulated steam locomotives.

Any chance of doing a cobalt switch like the MP-10s that can be mounted underneath still?

Excellent educational video! I, too, am just coming back into model railroading and this entire system has taken away the "fear" I have had about using DCC. Thanks very much!🙂

I am up grading my layout . At presentI use cat5 cabling . Also I use p0werpro as well as powercab can I usee my powerpro as an extra hand set and daisey chain between the alpha panels round my layout.

Back in modeling after many years Aegis has arrived very fortuitously. Working on a basic 4x8 now with plans for an expansion to a shelf and a modular yard with roundhouse. Main line laid now to get operational (baby steps).

Is it able to connect to JMRI?

Very straight forward but cost a fortune to start again.

Can the alpha meter be plugged in directly to the aegis to provide current and voltage readings ?

I've been looking for a HO Premium set for five weeks now, none available anywhere, lots of N gauge Premium though including two at my fav retailer, Kingston Locomotive Works (Canada). It's not the gold plating but the case that I want, much better to store the parts than a blister pack. DCC Concepts will not be producing any more Premium sets according to an email I received.

I do love the DCC Concepts kit I have but £600 on top of a £250 NCE Cab? Makes my Dynamis Ultra look at £250 look like the bargain of the century!

Thank you DCC concepts

Or you can purchase the Iowa Scaled Engineering ProtoThrottle, which is wireless, with much more realistic operating abilities than the NCE PowerCab for less than the Aegis panel. The ProtoThrottle is also compatable with Lenz, ESU CabControl, JMRI WiFi Throttle, MRC Prodigy (via wifi module), Digikeijs DR5000, and Digitrax (via an LNWI module). 😉

@richardbrighton7737 - Hello Richard, I hope you are still monitoring comments posted to this video. I currently use an Alpha Box booster (with the Alpha power supply) together with my NCE Powercab and I am very pleased with it. I am expanding my layout and looking to add a second booster. I could of course simply replicate my system as it stands now, but I am wondering if it is possible integrate the new Aegis system with my Alpha Box and Alpha power supply system? Thanks, Andrew

I was in two minds over a rolling road but watched this video and it made the difference i purchased a set right away arrived this morning and as i model 009 ill have to use the n gauge setting so no over tighten of screws fingers crossed 😅

I was told it is a Snupper if that the right way to say it it for changeing my points form the Snifer it’s fit in a match box it’s not that big it has two white little things on it and two little black round thing 220 volts on top off the white little things two wires in and I put the two wires from the Sniffer to it I can send pictures if possible thank you DCC

I have purchased a part off you wen you were in Australia in naval Base DCC and I can not buy it here no more iTs for my points and that sucks I can not get them to work with out it

Big bucks but I guess the fundamental is whether you have a need for wireless application, horses for courses and all that. Personally I never understood why NCE was so popular without a graphics screen and so many keys to press ie on the ECoS I bought, you can do all the track layout design, pictorial loco selection and turnout switching without going between multiple menus, has Main and additional Programming Track feeds and recognises other controller inputs eg Roco Z21. It also has a reasonable 6 Amps output and twin controllers

It looks good will it be able to run the current to run my locos , my station lights will be separate power . By the time I get it my layout should be up and running . Still a lot of work to do.

I’m a big fan of dcc concepts I have the power cab but this is just to expensive these prices are through the roof 499 out of my league sorry to say

Can this be used with the likes of the Gaugemaster Prodigy 2

Looks a really good bit of kit but it is a bit pricey guys! I appreciate it's a comprehensively thought-out product but times are economically hard for us long suffering, mainly over charged hobbyists! Perhaps an RRP of £369.95 would be more reasonable, considering you also need a separate Power Cab too to be used in combination with this unit! Don't take advantage of your customers with obscene prices as Bachmann and Hornby have done with their RRPs or you'll ruin your all important reputation!

Very exciting already pre-ordered .

The worst issue with using your phone to control your layout is that the touch screen does not always respond to your "touch", and trains can run amok until it decides to accept you.

Hi, An interesting upgrade for a basic NCE Powercab. I also have the PC panel to link my NCE to my laptop and then use JMRI Decoder pro to alter my decoder settings that way, I think it is easier. Would I still be able to do this or something similar with your new aegis system? Look forward to seeing how this system develops. Thanks and all the best Dave.

its nice to see people getting away from nce. NCE is so outdated and basic and overrated. I wish you the best of luck
