DCC Ex is a DIY command station for your digital model railway that costs less than £50, but packs in all the functionality of a command station that would cost £££.

In this video I'll show you how easy it is to set this up and get it working both with a USB web throttle and a wifi phone app throttle. In future videos I hope to demonstrate some of the more advanced functionality including accessory control and automation.

A massive thank you to everyone involved with the creation and development of DCC++ and DCC EX!
