The ultimate in simple-to-install control panels. Take it out of the box, plug it into your command bus with the cable supplied and your installation is finished. It is usable with DCC and even DC modellers can adopt it if they use an accessory bus for their accessories (needs the Alpha Box and Accessory decoders on turnouts etc. of course)

Setting up Output addresses takes only a moment or two, and adding some lovely fine detail such as etched numbering for your digital accessories is a relaxed and very satisfying process. The result is a sophisticated and unbelievably easy to use control panel.

Multiple “Alpha Central” units can be connected together to control the largest station or yard, and you can even move them from place to place… they connect anywhere that you have access to the command bus. Each Cobalt Alpha has 24 illuminated switches controlling 12 accessory decoder outputs.
