Welcome Jim! You've gotten good advice here. DCC in a nutshell is like radio control for airplanes cars and boats. Each locomotive has a decoder installed in it, which detects signals sent through the rails which pertain only to that decoder/loco You can have more than one loco running on the same track doing its' particular job and not be effected by signals sent to another loco. Many of the DCC manufacturers have information on DCC at their websites which will give you a better idea of what it's about, than I can describe to you. I use Digitrax. Their website is at www.digitrax.com. DCC is a nice way to go and I strongly urge looking into it before making up your mind about how to proceed.
