The Big Book of DCC
 
The Big Book of DCC will show you how use digital command control to improve your layout operations. The book uses examples, diagrams and photos to illustrate the concepts and ideas presented to make DCC come alive in simple to understand language. You will learn the advantages offered by DCC for your layout and your style of operation. This book is not just a list of DCC manufacturers and the components they build. Instead, this book concentrates on what DCC is, what it can do for you and how you can make it happen. The Digitrax Big Book of DCC was written by model railroaders for model railroaders.


The Introduction Section covers the history of train control, command control, DCC standards, interoperability, digital command control and why. The Installation Section covers installation on a small existing layout, a medium sized new layout and a large, complicated new layout. Decoder selection and installation, along with installation of lighting are explained. The Wiring Section includes discussions of power districts, reversing sections, turnout control, detectors, stationary decoders, programming track, turntables, train order signals and modular railroading. The Operations Section explains how to operate trains with DCC including addressing, momentum, acceleration, deceleration, speed curves, lighting and sound effects, consist control, route control, transponding and detection, signals, braking sections and fast clock operation. The technical section covers the "gory" details of DCC technology. At the end of each section, there is a review of the terminology covered in that section.

The Digitrax Big Book of DCC is a reference book you will use for many years to come. You will find it an indispensable addition to your model railroading library!
