Why do people insist on making DCC hard? Don't be confused by stuff that people post that make it sound hard. It is easy. There are two rails and two wires from the DCC command unit. With few exceptions it is simply hook them up and go.conrail92 said:Can anyone sugesst a real good dcc wiring book i can lookinto for ho scale?
It isn't the size of the layout. It is the current draw of the locomotives, and lighting in cabooses, passenger trains, and anything else that draws power.conrail92 said:that makes me feel better the only real thing im confused about is with the boosters do i need any extra boosters if i operating a 10x12 layout? with a 2 track mainline a yard and some industries? if so how many would you guess. as a rough esitmate.
The Prodigy Express is rated at a power output of 1.6A. No, unlesss those are really power hungry locomotives I don't think you need a booster.conrail92 said:I have a prodigy express system and i dont plan on running anymore then 4 loco's at a time 5 at the most and non will have sound.... littel out of my price range at the moment, do you think i will need a booster?
