NCE has been manufacturing DCC Products on an OEM basis since 1993. Originally we offered only “chip sets” that contained software enabling other DCC manufacturers to build DCC systems. As time went on some of those manufacturers asked us to first supply partial assemblies then complete assemblies in addition to the chip sets. This has helped NCE to grow into a full time electronic design and manufacturing firm devoted entirely to the development and sale of products for the control of model railroads. We build an amazing array of products for both our own customers, other DCC manufacturers and locomotive manufacturers. We keep labor costs low by utilizing modern automated robotic assembly for most products. Recently, we have more than doubled our manufacturing space and taken an option on an additional area to more than triple it.
Our product designer is Jim Scorse. Jim models the Erie Railroad in O-Scale and has a long history in model railroading. He has numerous patents in the area of imagery, video and computer network data communications over noisy channels. Jim is active in the Layout Design SIG as well as 31 years with the “Tuesday Night Gang”, (round robin model railroad club) and is probably one of the only really active model railroaders among all the DCC manufacturers.
