STOCK ARRIVING SOON, PRE-ORDERING ADVISED!

Tired of point motors that just won’t throw? It’s frustrating when your layout misbehaves!

Or do you just want a super high quality reliable accessory decoder?

Our ADS-SX range of professional solenoid decoders makes "lazy" points a thing of the past. These aren't average decoders; they're built for total reliability to keep your railway running like clockwork.

Why choose ADS-SX?

⚡ POWER: Every output has its own built-in Capacitor Discharge Unit (CDU). This stores energy for a powerful, reliable throw every time: no more sticking points!

🛠️ SIMPLICITY: Wiring shouldn't be a headache. Our innovative solderless i-Link connectors make the process faster, cleaner, and easier to manage.

Two versions available depending on your needs:
📍 ADS 4sx (4-way): £64.99

❗ STOP CRUSHING YOUR RAIL! ❗

There is nothing more frustrating than spending hours on your layout only to have a poor cut ruin a piece of track. If you are tired of filing down distorted rail ends or dealing with uneven joints, our DCT-XTC Track Cutting Tool is exactly what you need. :)

Unlike standard side-cutters that "crush" the metal, the XTC uses a specialized precision shear action. The blades bypass each other slightly, delivering a clean, vertical cut every time. It is a game-changer for both beginners and seasoned modellers!

Why the DCT-XTC belongs on your workbench:
✅ Clean shear action – No more rail distortion.
✅ Flush cuts – Flat back for a perfectly flush finish.
✅ Built to last – Hardened precision steel blades.
✅ Ergonomic comfort – Royal blue handles for a comfortable grip.

Perfect for N, HO, OO, or O gauge. Available now for just £13.95. Buy from us or one of our many retailers to upgrade your toolkit today! 🙏

They provide clean, reliable strips every single time: making your DCC bus setup a total breeze. No more hacking away at cables; just professional results for every hobbyist, regardless of experience!

We’ve got a limited supply available at just £26.95 each, so you’ll want to move fast before they disappear again! 🙏
