Some of the people (me) who read these threads are new to this hobby and don't know what all the letters like MTH, DDC, DCS ... stand for. It would be very helpful if someone was to make a list of these letters you all use so often and give a brief definition of what these letters actually mean. MTH stands for ? How is it used, or what does it do? DCC stands for ? How is it used, or what does it do? DCS stands for ? How is it used, or what does it do? RSC stands for ? How is it used, or what does it do? I'd really like some imput on the questions below in blue please! If you set up a train to run on battery power can it still run on track power as well? I would like to know what is involved to run off battery, what components and modifications are needed to switch from track power to battery power. What is required to operate a loco by remote control on a road powered by a Bridgewerks 15 amp transformer? I'm ready to by a bridgewerks 15 amp transformer, does that give me everything I need to run my new train? What type of remote control could be added? What componets would it take to set up 1 loco with remote? I'd love to get a list of some components to look up and price. Anybody running a bridgewerks 15 amp? Remote contol? I have a sound car because that was all I could afford seeing I'm just getting started. As I add locos and I'll want better sound systems I'm sure and I'd like to be able to run locos with either battery or track power, is it possible do do both, run off track power or battery power if a loco has been set up for a battery? Sorry for so many questions but there are so many things to consider and everything costs ALOT so I don't want to make a mistake and buy something that won't work or that I don't need. Recommendations please and warn me of products to stay away from. Paul2
