9: The rear of the Pro Box with track

power bus port and ECoS link port.

10: A view of the underside of the

command station. It sits on the Pro Box

when one is used and communication

between the two is by a multi-pin

connector in the base of the command

station (C). Note the power supply port

(A) and track power bus port (B).

11: Key to expanding the IR Receiver

network is the IR Extension module that

sits atop the command station. It allows up

to five IR Receivers to be connected to the

system including one located directly on

top of the command station.

12: The Command Station sits neatly on top

of the Pro Box. There are no cable

connections between the two and take care

not to bend any pins!

PUTTING DYNAMIS TO

WORK:

The perfect layout to demonstrate Dynamis

and Pro Box is my small N gauge portable

layout called ‘Dudley Heath’. It has two

scenic sides with the fiddle yard located at

one end. Overall, it is 100 inches in length

and 33 inches wide, a typical sized layout

for home and exhibition use. The base

station and Pro Box were placed in a tray

fitted to the control panel which was

designed to safely accommodate a control

system – it is important to have a safe place

to accommodate the DCC system.

To start, the basic Dynamis set was installed

with the power lead plugged in the back of

the box. The ends of the power bus were

screwed into the supplied plug and that was

plugged into the rear of the base station.

Once the single receiver module was

plugged in the top of the box, the system

was ready for power and operations. The

2.5 amp power rating was more than

adequate to power the layout and multiple

train operation. I ran one train continuously

on one line whilst the other was under

control. There’s enough power for two

main line trains to run and control of

shunting in the yard. Should I need more

power in the future, I can upgrade using a

5amp booster and introducing a second

power district.

Now, should a friend or two turn up

wanting to join in the fun, the basic system

must be expanded with the Pro Box to

enable the use of additional controllers. By

this stage, due to the double-sided nature

of Dudley Heath, I determined that an

additional receiver would be beneficial too.

To install Pro Box, I disconnected all of the

leads and unplugged the transformer. The

single receiver was removed from the top

of the Dynamis base station too. Closely

following the instructions, the Command

Station box was fitted to the top of the Pro

Box. The IR Extension box was placed on

top with the original receiver plugged to

the top of that. The additional receiver and

lead supplied with Pro Box was connected

to the IR Extension box with the lead fed

along the layout to expand coverage.

Next came the connections to the layout

wiring itself. Dudley Health was built with a

separate programming track. The two wires

feeding the programming track were

connected to the track port in the Command

Station. The power bus leads plug into the Pro

Box. Upon powering up, synchronisation takes

place between Pro Box and the throttles.

Once complete, friends are able to operate

trains independently of the original throttle

supplied with the starter package.

In the next article on Dynamis, I will look

at the basic wiring of a layout together

with installing layout programming

accessory decoders. After all, there’s so

much more to this system than may be

covered in one article!

13: Setting up the entry-level package on

the Author’s N gauge layout Dudley Heath.

A small screwdriver is required to connect

wires to the screw connectors supplied

with Dynamis.

14: Should friends turn up wanting to enjoy

the layout, a Pro Box is added enabling the

control of up to four trains simultaneously

using wireless throttles.

15: To improve coverage for the throttles,

an additional receiver was installed using an

IR Extension box and cable.

16: The setting up is complete with IR

Extension box and cable (A) plugged into the

Command Station that sits on top of the Pro

Box. The programming track is plugged into the

Command Station (B) and the layout power

bus into the track port in the Pro Box (C). The

power supply for Dynamis is still plugged into

the Command Station box (D).
