Taking the plunge into DCC

[Oz_Paul]

After much deliberation I am converting my existing layout to DCC with a Digitrax Super chief. Plans include block detection, signalling and computer control.

 

I found this presentation on Wiring for DCC which seems quite informative.

Hello,

 

I also use Digitrax Super Chief.  You will find it successful.  Please consider the Nemo Junction case study on the Digitrax website.

 

Also, there are two threads on this forum that I found very useful:

Precise Slow Speed Station Stops - Automation

... and ...

Automation with Transponding Focus

 

Good luck and have fun.

My layout uses Tomix fine track including turnouts. I was planning to order the Digitrax DS64 stationary decoders but was not sure if they will work. Any experiences to share?

An alternative recommended was from DCC Specialities which is a lot more expensive.

Might start a new thread.
