Great "How To" will definitely be watching this video again when I start my new layout. Will be so nice to be wireless!

That is super easy to do. Great explanation, and thanks for going over your whole setup at the end. It helped bring it all together.

Incredible video, Deryk. I hope to go wireless soon with NCE, and you’ve explained how to do it in a way that even I can understand. When I do it, I will use this video. Thanks a million. ...Roy

Great tutorial video DG, your explanation was spot on. Now ya got me with two wireless systems for the HO and the N scale on my wish lists, one at a time of course Thanks for sharing, Cary

This video helped make it very easy to understand, Thank you.

Thank you so much. You were real thorough in explaining a wireless cab. Thanks

That's so cool, I'm gonna buy this when I start my layout next year

Nice vid. I usually skip over your stuff since I am N scaler, but this one obviously is not scale specific. I think you did an excellent job explaining wireless NCE. I've been using the Bachmann E-Z DCC and anticipate soon needing a more capable system. Seeing wireless becoming easily available is giving me the itch to upgrade. Thanks for showing NCE as a good contender.

Nice easy to understand tutorial. Thanks.

Excellent explanation on how to set up the NCE wireless base station and procab this will be my next upgrade to my NCE powercab system.👍😀😀😀🇬🇧🚂

Hey Sir I just watched how you did your lift out fantastic job , us new to the hobby are really thankful for guys like once again big Thanks

Great video! I just went wireless and thank goodness you made this video!

So simple! Appreciate the video. I think I'm sold on NCE.

Great stuff. I have the procab and wireless running my LGB outdoor trains an indoor HO Switching and N Scale trains. Very versatile. I fried my SB5 a while ago when I accidentally reversed some connecting wires. Fortunately I don't need it at the moment.

I added this receiver a while back and really have enjoyed it. Don't forget the small wireless throttles. They are very cool and less intimidating to new comers. Watch out, you did such a good job explaining everything NCE may want to sponsor your channel !! Happy New Year !!!

Deryk Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks man for bringing this subject to your channel. It is something that I really wanted to do with my layout as well. I'm about 3 feet short with RJ12 cable on the Power Cab and now that you displayed this I now know that Pro Cab is the way to go. Plus I'll have a 2nd throttle.

This is exactly the video I was looking for! Thanks for sharing this, super helpful!

Well now I know what goes on my Xmas list for 2021!

Awesome! I’ve been wondering how the wireless stuff is set up, for me your explained it perfectly

Cool Derek...nice upgrade..must have been nice this year.. Santa was nice to you.. thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.. Lance

Great instruction and info.

Very nicely done

About time someone makes an in-depth video of how to do this using both methods. Although, I may not ever use this, it's a great video to refer to. Also, I recommend using Energizer rechargeable batteries for the wireless remote. Thanks Deryk for the video

Good clear tutorial. Nice work.

Great video and explanation

Hey Merry Christmas 🎅 Brother Deryk I wanna Tell ya Deryk watching your Videos Was what Helped Me Make the Big Big Dession to Go With the NCE'S SB5 .. I'm glad I got it, for It's Size & shape you can place it just about Anywhere Hooking it up was simple I did have to do a little adjusting to set up my Track Wiring but it wasn't nothing too complicated I am using my NCE ProCab-r along with my Extra PCP Pannel that I had Bought a few years back with nothing Hooked up to PCP the panel acts like a UTP she's passive Deryk.. I did buy a Wireless RB02 a Few months ago back in July) And I set up the ProCab-r with a Different Address I used 05 for my Address ED Wilson says on the ProCab-r's the Cab Addresses Go from 02 to I believe 17 other Cabs can go up to 60.. When I was setting up my Wireless I did as it states and like you was doing in your Video Deryk but my ProCab when I was pressing the Horn button acted like it wanted to Hang up when I unhooked the RB02 and went back to Direct Wire the Hanging up went away it says in the instructions that Wireless devices might interfere with the performance but I shut all of my Cellphones off even my Wirless Landline Home phone.. So I don't know if the problem was in the RB02 or my ProCab-r it could be because we live in Apt. Deryk and there is a over Saturation of Wireless causing the Issue.. But I did give it a Try.! And I'd like to try it again.. Maybe if we can get away from the Apt we live in me & my Folks are definitely Ready to move on too many Smokers 🤨 live here, where tired 😫 of putting up with that and noise they make Young College Kids living here off momma & daddies money till they move on.. I'm not against college & I'm not against kids getting there education but they have campus housing and thats where they should live.. On campus.. & not with Senior Residential Folks.. But past that Little Gripe ☺ Deryk I Enjoyed all of your Video & have Enjoyed all your past Video and Hopefully I can send ya something for one of your T-Shirts I wanna get one from you if I can I like them Allot. You Take Care hope you had a Good Christmas cant wait to put 2020 in the Books and get into the New Year.! Have a safe Happy New Year's.. Allen

Thanks, perfect job explaining all that!

Next to going DCC, going wireless was the best upgrade I ever made. You will love it.

Sweet!!!! Great explanation

I got the same set up I love it. Marry Christmas buddy

Awesome how to video

I have had the wireless system for over 2 years. you are going to love it. I am looking to get a second one. A little hard up here in Canada. apparently the wireless signal they use is not approved in this Country. so I have to find a way to get one sent to me. hardest part of the wireless cab is the set up.. lol ,, changing the cab number. easy peasy

Great video! Honestly I could have used it this summer when I upgraded to wireless. Haha ;) congrats on going wireless! Enjoy the new toy!

Hi Deryk, the wireless throttle/handheld is pretty nice. Should come in handy for your size layout. Terry

Going to go NCE Wireless. Always tripping over or stepping in the flat wire. Dangerous. Thanks for the Demo!

Nice video Deryk! I do believe that using the SB5 smart booster only lets you program cabs 2-7. If you add the PH Pro to the system and assign it as the master (make the SB5 into a "dumb booster"), you get an additional 5 amps of power and can control up to 63 cabs.

I was told popcorn was being handed out.. bummer.. Great tutorial video man. Much appreciated

Wireless is the way to go - I’m very happy with my Z21 and controlling it from my phone, and JMRI. Oh, and from a wired multimaus handset if I feel like doing it the hard way!

It looks like a nice wireless system Kido. Bob

thank you for detail video

Followed your directions to a tee, didn’t. Work. After doing a lot of research to no avail I sent the RB2 back. I was thinking wrong version. Then I ordered again which I got v2.1, didn’t work. Finally I took the ProCab apart to find two wires cut, right at joint. Join them up and all works. Thanks for you video to get me on the right track to begin with.

Didn’t read the whole title and was thinking it was about dead rail lol. Still an informative video 👍

That engine sounds so real

Thanks buddy that really simplified it. I think I may go that route too. I use the sb5 as well.

Having wireless control is awsome, I love my esu control cab system. No cords.

I just noticed your facia washers. I have the same washers with drywall screws. I'm going to switch them out to slotted screws, if i can find some. Great minds think alike.

Great, looks like I may go wireless too....thanks for sharing 👍👍👍 Derek, I belong to two clubs wit one using NCE and the other using Digatrax, to tell you the truth the nce system is by far the easiest to set up and use, even some of the second group wishes they use the nce but it a modular system and if they meet other groups it's not an opinion, you explanation are always the best on nce !

Hahaha this is great brother!! I love how you explain things. When is your layout wiring video coming out?

I think they created model railroading, to get us ready for the technology of the future. 🔮 😄

Very interesting video, Deryk. Thanks. I have a request for a recommendation. I've been using Lenz, a basic system, with no boosters or anything else. As my modular layout grows, my DCC system will have to grow to handle more engines, but I think that I don't want to invest any more into Lenz, as I want something more ubiquitous, with lots of other people using it, for better understanding of my system and mutual support among modelers I'm leaning towards NCE, with Digitrax a close second. But I still have a lot to learn about DCC, though I am already familiar with programming CVs on my locos. I model in "Finescale S," (not American Flyer at all), and each engine consumes power only somewhat more than HO engines, but not that much. To summarize my eventual maximum power requirements: Four or five diesel engine consist on one mainline track, and perhaps a heavy steam double header on the other mainline track. One smallish steam loco on the narrow gauge track, and perhaps 1 or 2 switching activities elsewhere on the eventual completed modular layout. So briefly, a possible maximum of 9-10 engines. I also want wireless throttles. In the eventual completed layout, each of the standard-gauge mainlines will be as long as about 240', in a large circuit. Also a yard area, turntable, engine facilities, etc. I don't need that capability yet, so I am interested in a suggested course of incremental acquisition of an NCE system that will eventually be able to grow to handle the above maximum requirements. I don't want to have to replace components needlessly as things grow. Should I start with a power cab system (but if I understand, the power cab has a very low power capability), or should I purchase a more capable pro cab system to start out? I already have enough engines to run MU consists, though the mainlines aren't that long yet. I still don't understand too much how boosters work, but I'm sure that will be resolved after I successfully install my first one. My DCC buss wires run from module to module, and plug into each other with polarity controlled plugs. I'm hoping I won't have to redo my DCC bus wires. They work fine with my Lenz system. I model the UP, SP, D&RGW, WB, and ATSF, with the UP the favorite. However, some "foreign" power is always welcome. I do have an Erie USRA Heavy Pacific. I have done several successful DCC decoder installs in my locos, but I still have many that need to be converted.

Would this system be compatible with other dcc systems? (i.e, if i plugged in the wireless module into a mrc system for reference, would it still be able to send dcc signals to the track and work properly?) Great video by the way!

Thank you for share I will buy NCE wireless Procab for my N scale layout

Hei, Deryk! Thanks for your video. In which scale is your layout?

How big is your layout room? Do you have any signal issues with the RB02 being under the layout as opposed to on the ceiling ?

Great video. Just wondering what the range of the system is? The maximum distance I would be from the antenna is 25 feet. Thank-you.

What happened to the little antenna at the top of the ProCab, did they switch to an internal antenna?

I use the Wireless Piko Smartcontrol With my Piko Smartbox With 4amps

im guessing this was an early christmas present to yourself right??, best wishes for 2021

Hello...nice video with elaborate explanatiom. Can you please let me know how can i get the RB20 wireless receiver. Its not available in ebay.

Where did you get the RJ 12 wire and jacks.

What AWG gauge do you recommend for the bus wires using the NCE SB5 Smart Booster? Thanks!

MRC Advance2 or NCE Powercab? Which is the best choice. From newbie to hobby

Hey Derek can I still do macros when using the sb5?

What if I don’t want to buy the power can system because I like the wireless pro cab better. Can I just buy a pro cab install kit and be wireless from the get go never having the power cab?

My ProCab has an antenna that must be screwed into the top of the handheld. Must be an older version. Is there an upgrade for older units? Thanks.

So do I still need to the 2 16 gauge wires and cut and connect to the tracks or no?

Can i use the wireless pro from the get go ? If im starting fresh ? Since i don't see the point of wired one.

Which of the jmri do i choose i just got a laptop and in going to start using decoder pro

Can you program train with the wireless pro cab?

Hey Deryck that’s a nice video. Where can I get that pro cab wireless? , can you post the link pls?

Suppose I get the wireeless and don't have the one that plugs in?

Will this work with NCE SB3a smart booster?

How long do the batteries last before you have to replace them with new batteries?

So is the SB5 a command station? I thought it was just a booster and still needed the power cab for brains.

I followed the same way you did yours and its not working for me, it will work if the wire is connected and I can run trains that way but as soon as I unplug and it the E-stop button there is nothing. Now if I hold the E-stop button in the it just will say NCE Procab V1.3 cab address = 03 but will not go beyond that and the red light on top does not blink and the RB02 red lights also don't blink so I'm not sure what to do now. I have the same setup as you do I use the SB5 smart booster.

Another awesome video!! Went and finally hooked up my rb02 after watching! On another note, have you seen the WFD30? It’s a WiFi interface that just plugs into the Utp panel with a bus cord and generates a WiFi signal that you can use universal throttles, phones, and tablets!

Yonder mountain string

Could you repeat that one more time? Lol! BTW, where's does the Lionel 12v DC transformer fit in? ;)

Ahhhhh....I'm waiting for the voice controlled, controllers. VOX

now if I did not own this stuff, I sure would by that

Sooo, let me get this straight....u can not use the wireless power cab to program a loco when u only have a booster as a brain? I bought a 5 amp booster and wireless power cab only, I never bought a tethered power cab...are u saying I must buy a tethered power cab to program my locos?

that poor smart booster. you shake the living crap out of the poor thing.. lol.

Instructions?, we don't need no stinking instructions.
