Description
DCC EX CSB1 Command Station for Model Railways
The DCC EX CSB1 Command Station is a ready-to-run DCC-EX control system for model railway layouts. It is supplied preloaded for practical layout control, making it a strong choice for modellers who want DCC-EX, WiFi throttles and JMRI compatibility without building a command station from separate Arduino boards and motor shields.
Key Features
- Ready-to-use DCC EX control: supplied preloaded so you can get your layout running quickly.
- Built-in wireless control: use compatible throttles and apps from a phone, tablet or computer.
