Questions about DCC
Posted by NTrainGarage on Friday, March 6, 2009 11:36 PM

I'm thinking about moving to DCC, but I was curious as to what I need to run two locos at a time.  I know you need DCC equipped locos, but I'm clueless as to what else and what brand to buy.

 You need to start by learning what DCC is and how it works:

You might want to pick up one of the Kalmbach books about getting started with DCC.

I got the Kalmbach book "DCC Projects" and it helped a bunch. I had no clue of all the things I could do with my new Digitrax system until I started reading that book and I'm still learning.Smile

Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.
