Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
QUOTE: Originally posted by tstage Tom, DCC Made Easy by Lionel Strang (Kalmbach Books) is a VERY good book. Lionel knows his stuff but does a terrific job of explaining DCC in non-technical and easy to understand terms. He can also "talk shop" and does in a couple of spots for those who are more knowledgable on technical talk. Tom

QUOTE: Originally posted by rrinker I don;t want to argue with Joe about this ... Graphics have their place - it's a lot easier to see how to hook something up if there is a picture to match the text describing the process - but too many web sites these days simply overload on the graphics and Flash animations and that does nothign to improve the experience. --Randy
QUOTE: Hey cgrubb, Let me save you the effort. Deciding whether to go with DCC? Yes. Go with DCC. It's a dang miracle. What fun! There. The ONLY reasons I can think of that someone wouldn't is that they already have loads of old locomotives and don't want spend the time effort and money needed to add decoders, or someone that is content running just one train at a time. Otherwise: Go DCC. I was in your shoes and bought the "DCC Made Easy" book everyone is recommending. I didn't find it helpful at that very beginning stage... uncomprehensible (to me) tables about wire gauges, and lots of talk about bus sizes, CVs, blah, blah blah that was too much too soon for a guy trying to figure out if he even wants one or not. I found that this forum was the most useful place for current information for me.
