Set up and use the DEJA platform — from your first loop of track to a full club layout.

  1. 01 Getting StartedDEJA is the new DCC platform — built for today's devices, designed to replace outdated interfaces with something you'll actually enjoy using. Browser-based, multi-device, cloud-synced. Here's how to get started.
  2. 02 ArchitectureFree cloud control for DCC-EX: tap on your phone, DEJA Server routes it over USB, DCC-EX drives the rails. Your tiny empire, connected.
  3. 03 Server & CLIThe DEJA Server is a small program that runs on the computer connected to your EX-CommandStation. It takes the commands you send from the Throttle app and passes them to your DCC-EX hardware over USB. You set it up once, and it runs quietly in the background while you focus on running trains.
  4. 04 ThrottleThrottle is both your drive console and your layout manager. Walk through a complete session — connect to your EX-CommandStation, add a locomotive, control speed and direction, throw turnouts, and trigger effects.
  5. 05 IODEJA isn't just a throttle — it's a full layout automation platform. IO devices let you control turnouts, signals, lighting, sound, and sensors from the same apps you already use to run trains — with no code to write.
  6. 06 SetupEverything in Throttle is set up the same way: add it, fill it in, save. Here is each part of your layout in the order most owners build it — from your EX-CommandStation to your first automation.
  7. 07 Guest ModeGuest Mode turns a visit to your layout into a little adventure. Visitors scan your guest QR code, pick a fun name and type your Room Code — then explore your stops, switch the effects you allow and hunt for hidden eggs, all from their phones. No account needed.
