What Is DCC |
 | | DCC allows one engineer to control many trains or many engineers to control their own trains limited only by the number of hand throttles available. |
 | | DCC works by providing both power and signals to all trains on the track through the rails and the decoders in individual engines determine how to respond in terms of speed, direction, lights etc.. |
 | | DCC power is similar to AC but the current alternates in a controlled series of pulses that the locomotive decoders can understand as series of 1's and 0's (or digits) and then interprets those digits as commands which the engineer has controlled the hand throttle. |
