Hi: <br /> <br />First time post here. Though I've been associated with model railroading for some 35 years or so, I've recently been investigating returning to HO and going with DCC. <br /> <br />My current layout space is small (about 9.6' x 12' around-the-room visible shelves). <br /> <br />After taking a break from scale modeling and loosely enjoying 3-rail O for a while, I have discovered that HO is now coming with sound installed, DCC compatible, and so forth, right out of the box. Interesting. <br /> <br />Should I return to HO, the existing benchwork will be used for an urban switching layout that would include continuous through tracks on which to enjoy some simple train watching when so inclined, as well as afford the chance for trains to interact in switching moves/etc. I would like to go with DCC, should this concept become my layout direction. <br /> <br />My current inclination is Digitrax, but what "size" DCC system would such a layout as above truly need? <br /> <br />My main question at this point would be: Where is a great place to learn about DCC? <br /> <br />Any direction you can point me toward will be appreciated. <br /> <br />Thanks. <br /> <br />Andre Ming
