Description
The NCE 5240152 Button Board is a plug-in add-on for the NCE Switch8 Mk2 accessory decoder that gives you direct pushbutton control of your turnouts from a control panel — no throttle keystrokes required. Route your local fascia buttons to the Switch8 Mk2 and you get the best of both worlds: turnouts that respond to DCC accessory commands from any cab and to simple panel buttons for walkaround or yard operators.
This is the natural upgrade for operators who love the Switch8 Mk2's eight-turnout capacity but want the immediacy of a physical panel. Wire buttons for each turnout position and dispatchers, guests, and kids can line routes without ever touching a throttle.
Compatibility
- Designed specifically as an add-on for the NCE Switch8 Mk2 accessory decoder
- Works alongside normal DCC accessory control — both methods stay active
How to Use
- Connect the Button Board to the Switch8 Mk2 per the included instructions
- Wire pushbuttons from your fascia or control panel to the board's inputs
