NCE: The Power of DCC




OOPS!   Our new SB3a has a software bug

A bug has been discovered when using 3 or more recalls with the new SB3a.


To determine if your SB3a is affected:

Connect your ProCab or PowerCab throttle to the SB3a

Press PROG/ESC

Press 5

Press ENTER

Systems with the bug will display "Version 1.28D1" on the throttle.

"Version 1.28D2" (or any other version) is OK.


If you have an SB3a with the problem contact NCE.

You do not need to send your SB3a in to receive an update.  Please

include your name and full mailing address in any communications.
