QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole That would be taking all the fun out of running model trains. Some rail museums use computer control for their layouts, since they must run continually and unattended, but I would get no joy out of watching my trains just run around and around without my involvement -- that would be akin to TV shows that require no conscious effort on the part of the audience.
QUOTE: Originally posted by reilleyem DCC supports total computer control. It's complicated...but that's half the fun. To learn about this you need to buy a book on DCC...but not from a manufacturer of DCC...you'll need to understand the concept behind DCC and the manufactures only provide "their" concept. DCC Made Easy is a good book...about $10...but there is a more complete book that really has the details for about $30...just can't remember it's title.
I'm back!
