Snowball Creek Electronics

Welcome to Snowball Creek Electronics

My name is Kieth. I created Snowball Creek Electronics in 2022 as a place to offer some of my model railroad accessory designs to others. Being a retired electronics design professional, my personal goal was to design and build all of my own electronics for my model railroad. This still holds true today - I have zero commercial products being used on my layout. All product designs, except the Arduino shields, are designed to NMRA standards, where applicable.

Our product offerings are growing. We started in 2022 with our Dual Block Occupancy Detector. We added an LCC Shield for the Arduino platform for the DIY crowd in 2023. This shield is also used on my own layout in several capacities. Also in 2023, we added a programming team as we continued our development of LCC devices. Now, in 2025 we are offering our first stand-alone LCC product, the Slow Motion Turnout Controller x8 (SMTC8)! This board will control 8 tortoise machines over LCC or DCC. It can also translate DCC turnout events into LCC events.

Starting in May 2025, all our products except the Arduino shields, will be sold through Kingston Locomotive Works. We will no longer offer product via our webstore. We encourage you to browse Kingstons product selection.
