[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by R.W. King What are some other things you can do with DCC (other than less wiring, on/off headlights, etc...) that can make the MR experience even more enjoyable? [/quote] other tings you can do with DCC: Power to all Engines, lights on, sound on, but not moving! Computer controlled layout Turnout control from the same conmtroler that you run the Engine from Turning lights on and off in industries Run a turntable from the handheld remote Automatic reversing loops Block dection without all the nasty wiring Stop on red without the nasty wiring Less wiring! No Toggle switches! Bassically you have 1 pair of wires that go around the underside of your layout. then every 3 feet or so, you'll have feeder wires run to the track, or any other item that has a decoder for operation. Occassionally you'll have to mount a smaller module of the DCC system for certain things like reversing loops, Turntable (power reversing modules), basically anyplace you have to stick a manual switch before. There's even software out there to let you run your entire layout from a PC, Timetable planning, route planning, point and click trunout switching, endless capabilities. Jay
