i bought some of the model railroader books (one was on wiring-and it does not cover DCC), but i am laking one one DCC. what are the BASICS of the set-up? is there power sent through the tracks like in the DC systems and the digital controller just tells the train how fast to go, when to slow down etc? i am just in the dark on this technology-- but it sounds AWESOME! <br /> <br />i can't wait. the layout table is going to start going together this weekend! <br /> <br />also, does anyone thing that the grade on the layout in the recent model railroader is too steep? some one above said that the max grade should be no more than 1-2% for a more modern style railroad (i am planning on a present day style of engines and model set up for my layout). some of the grades seem to be close to 3-4%. i am reading the elevations incorrectly? <br /> <br /> <br />john <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
