Welcome aboard the forum express, Gerry. [#welcome]

I'm sure we'd be more than happy to provide some help, but we need to know a little more. How big is the layout going to be, what scale, things like that. What sorts of questions do you have?

Installing it is fairly simple. This forum just got started, but will probably answer a lot of questions as it matures:

Look for rrinker (Randy) and jfugate (Joe), as they are a wealth if info on DCC.

Welcome, Gerry. I, too, have just acquired a Super Empire Builder, and have it successfully intalled. My trouble is with using it!! (It's a long story, and a little off topic for your purposes). As Mark has said, you won't have to wait very long for some informative help. We have three or four great gurus of the quantum ocean who can set you up pretty quick.

(Now, what value DID I program into CV 29, anyway...? I wonder if Randy has a webcam......)
