Ro-Ro Remote Kit
DCC by Design’s latest kit, the Ro-Ro Remote Kit, lets you convert your Ro-Ro Train Elevator into a complete staging solution! Developed to permit hidden installation and operation of the Ro-Ro Train Elevator, the Ro-Ro Remote Kit provides significant features beyond the typical install. This kit provides many options for improving control of your elevator from providing a remote display of the current shelf section to a fully automated ready for inclusion in your computer based dispatching (see video below).
Another excellent option is the ability to remotely shut down the opposite end of the shelf from the train’s entrance. This prevents the possibility of a train overshooting the end of the shelf. When it is time to restage the layout, the “dead track” can be repowered and the train moved off either end.

Ordering & Pricing
The kits are now available. Based on the feedback we received during the pre-order phase, we have found that one-size doesn't quite fit all. Therefore, the Ro-Ro Remote Kits will be available as a built to order item. The kits are estimated to be 3 to 4 weeks; we are working to reduce this delay. Because each kit is built to order, please email DCC by Design before purchasing this kit.
