[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by simon1966</i> <br /><br />LB, I am a Digitrax user and would not suggest you consider the SEB, while it is the middle system of the Digitrax range, it does not have the ability to read back CV's. The lower end Zephyr (what I have) can do this and it is a very capable system. I actually have a SEB as well, but just use the command station as an extra booster for my Zephyr. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Noted! <br /> <br />So I'm reading this manual just to get an idea of how DCC works and brings up questions. <br /> <br />Even if I went with the Xephyr, how big does ones layout get before you need to starting adding boosters?? It said in the manual that when adding boosters your layout should electrically set up in 'blocks'. Ok so how do turnouts come into play when you go to switch trains from one block to the other?? I assume you use insulated frogs with DCC yes?? And dosne't the turnouts bridge power from one block to the other?? So then why do you need to set up your layout that way?? That part I'm a little confused about and exactly what they mean.
