We have a dealer in the UK – Coastal DCC !
Really happy to announce that Coastal DCC in Ipswitch is carrying the N3IX Engineering QuadLN_S product line. Coastal DCC handled the QuadLN_S for years as a Tam Valley Depot dealer. Although our product offerings are more modest, Coastal DCC has graciously agreed to handle the QuadLN_S and other products from N3IX Engineering. I am so pleased that customers across the pond now have a first rate distributor available. Check them out at Coastal DCC – DCC by Modellers for Modellers

New Front Mount Fascia Controllers
The latest Front Mount Fascia Controllers are shipping. The updated design is very clean, has good visibility and recesses the pushbutton a bit. There is a square bezel that mounts with screws and a round bezel that can be attached with adhesive. Both bezel styles are available in black or white versions.
If you prefer the Back Mount style, while supplies last these are available at a greatly reduced price.
Stall Motor Driver Boards
Yes you read that right! With new Stall Motor Driver Board and version 3.1 firmware the QuadLN_S is not just for servos anymore. Mix and match servos and stall motors as desired. Connect two stall motors to one output using a Y cable for crossovers.
Relay Boards
We now have Relay Boards available. You can connect the relay to a QuadLN_S Turnout output (set for steady drive) or even to an output on the Signal board. The relay has 2A DPDT contacts and the low current coil means no issues using multiple relay boards on a single QuadLN_S.
