DriverD #9.a – Assemble a WiTController for DCC-EX #ModelTrains #ModelRailroad

DriverD #9.a – Assemble a WiTController for DCC-EX #ModelTrains #ModelRailroad Welcome to Driver D Trains. Thanks for stopping by! I’m your host Driver D. Our conductor and brakeman Scratchy-C, is taking the day off. Recently I completed a new series of videos on DCC-EX in 2025, featuring the EX-CSB1 Express, and more. In this video, we’ll look at how to assemble a WiTController to use with DCC-EX to control our trains. Look for a community post with a list of all the parts we’ll need and helpful links. Community post with links to all the parts and instructions for for today’s video:    • Запись   Be sure to check below for links to my other videos, including my video series on assembling a DCC-EX command station, and my series on using JMRI’s DecoderPro app to control our trains, as well as the various websites and products I mention here.

We’ve moved some cars around today and cleared the siding, so let’s head back to the yard and call it a night. I’m sure there will be something else to do tomorrow. Until then… Thanks for watching! Well Scratchy, are you ready to get back to work? [Meow!] Well ok then. Never mind! All aboard! [Credits] DriverDTrains ©2025
