  Rich gave you one of the best resources to DCC wiring. There are a few more like these.

 While these sites go beyond simple DCC wiring they will come in handy for any questions or problems that might arise.

I agree with Rich on that website. In fact when it comes to most things about our hobby I find the internet a wealth of information. I regret buying the few how to books I have, as anything that I found in them I have found online and it is often up to date info. The money would have been better spent on hardware for the layout. But to each their own.Cowboy

Here is a start and it is free. Others no doubt will mention books you can buy. I prefer the Internet method.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
