This page will eventually have information on the operation of the layout's DCC control system.

NCE digital command control systems home page.

System manual for the system we use.

Detailed instructions on operating the throttles is provided in the manual (above link) starting on page 35.

Quick cab programming tips:

Assign a single loco to a throttle:

	Press "Select Loco"
	Enter loco number
	Press "Enter"

	A leading zero will be necessary for locos numbered below 128 (we do have a few.)

Assign a two loco consist (not already consisted) to a throttle:

	Press "Setup"
	Press "Enter" at the ENTER=ADV 1=OLD prompt
	Press "Enter" at the CON ADDR:  ###  prompt
	Enter lead loco number
	Press "Enter"
	Enter lead loco direction at the DIR THIS LOCO: F prompt (press direction button to change)
	Press "Enter"
	Enter rear loco number
	Press "Enter"
	Enter rear loco direction at the DIR THIS LOCO: F prompt (press direction button to change)
	Press "Enter"
	Enter mid-consist loco number
	Press "Enter"
	Enter mid-consist loco direction at the DIR THIS LOCO: F prompt (press direction button to change)
	Press "Enter"

	If consist complete, press "Enter" or "PRO/ESC" to finish.
	A "C" will be displayed ahead of engine number on throttle.

	NOTE: for DF's, Consist as above, but skip rear loco and add pusher as mid-consist so it can be dropped at A Cabin.

Drop a loco from a consist:

	Press "DEL"
	Enter loco number to be dropped
	Press "Enter"

Add a loco to a consist:

	Press "Add"
	Enter lead loco number of consist
	Press "Enter"
	Enter loco number to be added
	Press "Enter"
	Enter direction of loco to be added
	Press "Enter"

Kill a consist:

	Press "Clear"
	Enter lead loco number of consist
	Press "Enter"
	
	The consist is now killed and must be re-consisted to be used again.
