Dave, About a month ago, I bought the series as well. It was a tough decision, because it runs about $100 for all four videos. However, it's been worth every penny. Joe makes things look so easy and explains things so well, that I know that many parts of construction that I was initially dreading will go much smoother now. Plus, they videos are just plain fun to watch.
Thanks, Chris. I'll post here once I figure some of this out. If the wiring is too complicated, I'll probably simplify as much as possible. That's one thing about this hobby - there's always something new to learn.
Yeah, it's starting to get real embarrasing going into Michael's or AC Moore's. The young girls working there always look at me kind of funny - I almost expect the SWAT team to come busting in the front windows to run me out.
Sure, Kevin - I'll post on here when I receive the book and have a chance to read it. I should have it next week.
Thanks Nick, I've ordered DCC Projects and Applications. It looks like it could be about the level of book I'm looking for; The DCC Guide looks a little too advanced for what I need and DCC Made Easy might be a little too basic. We'll see.
Chris, That's exactly the way I'm starting to think: Put the gaps for the reversing sections on the mains right before they enter the yards. I think if I do that, then I shouldn't have to put them anywhere else. I was also considering making the dogbone into a double dogbone with crossing sections between each dogbone and the yard. That just makes my head hurt thinking about the wiring
Thanks again guys. I've read through the websites and looked at the books. I've actually been to those sites several times. They've helped me understand the reversing loop and crossover issues better, but there are still some questions in my mind. I ended up ordering a book called "DCC Projects and Applications", thinking it may be a little past the basic concepts of DCC. Here's my biggest question: I basically have a dogbone layout planned, with a yard in the middle of
Thanks, guys - I'll check out those websites and the recommended book. In general, I have a grasp of DCC, but some times my old mind gets confused on the loops, crossovers, etc.
Hi, I'm starting to think about the wiring for my N scale, DCC controlled layout (with NCE PowerCab control). I understand the basics of DCC, but I'm getting confused with things like reversing sections, crossovers, etc. Which book would you recommend that might help me better understand these issues? Thanks
Hi, I'm using the Evans Design software and have designed several buildings, but only built one so far. The one I built, I used foam board for the walls and so far, I haven't seen any warping. I used SoBo glue to adhere the paper to the foamboard. However, after having said that, I'm going to use chipboard for the next buildings. Mainly because that's what Evans Designs recommends plus with the foam board, you have to take into account the thickness of the foam and add or subtract
