<p>Simply stated, with DC you control your trains by routing the power to those sections of track you want your train to run. With DCC, however, you control the loco. This allows you to control more than one loco on the same stretch of track while at the same time reducing the amount of wiring on your layout.</p> <p>DCC also has some value added features, like selecting performance characteristics of your loco, slow speed performance, momentum, acceleration and deceleration etc.</p> <p>You don´t need to be an electronics expert to get DCC up and running, just two wires to your command station is all you need.</p>
