Whether or not you have chosen DCC
by Design to
development the DCC system for your layout, we can configure and customize the DCC
components you need for installation on your layout. We mount the components,
wire the panels, install the connectors, and test the wire of
the panel. Once the wiring is complete, the panels labeled for installation, then shipped to your home. Our basic assembly package includes:
- Mounting panel on tempered hardboard (masonite)
or pegboard
- Wiring the components and installing terminal
strips for connection to the layout
- Testing the wiring for good connections
- Programming address of the components
- Labeling the panel for installation
Optional features are:
- Use different wire and connection standards
- Additional programming configuration (other
than address)
- For layouts in Washington DC metro area, home installation is
also available.
Interested in our assembly services, just
drop us a note and we can discuss
your needs.
Occasionally we have completed panels for
sale as well. Please check our
Panels page for
current availability.

Power & Occupancy Panels
an example
A recent DCC
by Design project
was to assemble the track power and block detection panels
for an HO scale Layout using Digitrax components. In addition, there
were some reversing sections to address.
The photographs at right show the resulting panels.
Each panel has a Digitrax booster, a PM42 for circuit breaker protection
and auto reversing, and a BDL168 for occupancy detection.

Occupancy & Transponding Panel
an example
Another project
was to assemble the track occupancy and transponding1 panel
for an N scale Layout. The requirements were:
1. track detection on all mainline blocks, and Yard Arrival/Departure
track to support dispatcher operations.
2. Transponding on key blocks to support train identification and
tracking for dispatcher.
3. Transponding configuration to support
SurroundTraxx system2 when it becomes available.
Other items specified where wire colors and wire
connection types.
The photographs at right show the resulting panel.

1. Transponding is a
Digitrax Patented
Concept and Product.
2. SurroundTraxx is a Throttle Up (now
SoundTraxx)
trademark product in development.
