Welcome to Model Railway Control Redefined – thanks to Bachmann Kinesis. The Kinesis Digital Command Control (DCC) system is a new, versatile and comprehensive DCC package that gives every user full control of their model railway and how they operate it. Start with the Kinesis Hub – available separately or as part of the Kinesis Wireless DCC System Starter Park (includes one Edge Handset) – and add up to five Edge Handsets for wireless control of your model railway.

The Edge Handset is a sophisticated rechargeable, wireless device with a high contrast OLED display crafted to suit all model railway operators. With an ergonomic design, the handset allows locomotives to be operated using either the rotary dial or push buttons to change speed and direction. With two numeric keypads, the Edge features a dedicated set of function buttons for loco functions and running programs or function macros. The high performance battery will provide up to 12 hours of use from a single charge, with a typical charging time of 2 hours – you can even charge on the go whilst you operate your model railway, using a standard USB cable (supplied).
