TCS LT-50 | DCC Starter System - LCC Throttle & Command Station | Multi Scale

The TCS LT-50 is a complete DCC starter system that packs a full command station and a hand-held LCC throttle into one compact, fascia-mountable unit. Designed by Train Control Systems for any scale — Z, N, HO, O, or G — it's an easy, affordable way to get a layout running on Digital Command Control, and it grows with you: run it standalone today, then plug it into an LCC network or pair it with a CS-105 down the road. What's in the Box LT-50 Layout Throttle with built-in DCC command station 15V DC power supply LT-50 fascia panel and fascia cover plate Mounting screws for the fascia board and plate Detachable track power connector Single RJ-45 (LCC) cable Spare encoder knob Features All-in-one command station + throttle — run it as a standalone system, as an LCC network throttle, or as a wired throttle paired with a TCS CS-105. Encoder knob control — a single rotary encoder handles both speed control and intuitive menu navigation. Backlit LCD display — a 1.42" x 0.92" white-backlit 128 x 64 screen with adjustable brightness keeps everything readable. Nine assignable controls — the encoder button, two face buttons, and two multi-position side switches can be mapped to the functions you use most. Yard Mode — a TCS-exclusive operating mode built for switching and yard work. Integrated consisting — build and run multi-unit consists right from the throttle. RailCom & LCC ready — supports DCC, Layout Command Control (LCC) over CAN-bus, and RailCom feedback. Built-in flashlight — two bright white LEDs light up dark benchwork on demand.

Any scale. The LT-50 is a multi-scale DCC system — it runs Z, N, HO, O, and G layouts. Its 1.4A continuous output is ideal for small to medium layouts. Do I need anything else to get started? No — the LT-50 is a complete starter system. It includes the throttle/command station, a 15V power supply, the fascia panel and hardware, and an RJ-45 cable. Just add DCC-equipped locomotives and track. Can I expand it later? Yes. The LT-50 speaks LCC, so you can add it to an LCC network or run it as a wired throttle alongside a TCS CS-105 command station as your layout grows. What is Yard Mode? Yard Mode is a TCS-exclusive operating mode that makes switching and yard work easier and more precise right from the throttle.
