[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ericsp I have not yet bought this book. However, it looks like it might be a good one, especially since it seems like there are more questions about DCC on here than anything else. Does anyone have or has anyone read it? http://store.yahoo.net/kalmbachcatalog/12242.html [/quote] Yes, I got it and read it when I decided to rebuild my layout and was trying to decide whether to stay with DC or switch to DCC for the new layout. It's a good basic overview of what DCC is, how it works and what's involved in converting to it. It gives you enough info to understand what you're reading in the manuals from the vendors and in the more technical discussions here. Another good, though more advanced book is "The Big Book of DCC" from Digitrax. While it's (obviously) biased towards Digitrax equipment, it's also generic enough that the principles it covers apply to just about and DCC equipment. And the operations portion has great info on programming the 'core' CVs, working with speed control and speed tables, and setting up automated yards and routes with stationary DCC decoders.
