If I had to do it again for DCC

[wbutler1]

A list of do's and don't's would have been wonderful when I started into DCC. Most of the information is out there but scattered over many areas and time frames. Sure might have saved me much stumbling not to mention the $ which I write off to experience.

Add my vote for a DCC forum.

If any of us have a voice in opting for a separate forum for DCC - count me in. I like the idea. I'm not there yet, but am reading up on it ...... so you KNOW what's about to happen!

In the meantime, ndbprr's idea for creation of a "file of tips" sounds like the way to go. One stop shopping, so to speak .......

See ya![tup]

That would be interesting. A separate forum for DCC would be very useful. How about it MRR?

Norm & Mike,

I like your ideas, fellas. Norm, just a suggestion though. There's a post with a similar heading as yours. I could retitle this one something like, "Idea for new forum heading - desire feedback". Or, "DCC and the forum". I only clicked on your post to see if yours was any different than jwar's.

I agree totally. Maybe a whole heading under Model Railroader Forums strictly for DCC discussion. It would be a one-stop resource for anyone looking to compare products, installation techniques, and troubleshooting. Plus, it would eliminate the repetition of "What DCC do you recommend?" headings. MR Staff, forum members; what do you think?

It struck me there is no primer here of do's and don'ts for building a railroad for DCC operation. Things like where to end blocks, etc. I think we need to start a file of tips for those about to attempt a new railroad. Reinventing the wheel isn't my idea of progress. Any tips anyone would like to tell us?
