* Sorry it should read " CENTRAL MIDLAND"
I am new to the forum as posting. I have been reading a lot about the Central Midland by Atlas. With all the comments I am starting to build a extended version of this. I have the Book #13 by atlas and I have read about wiring it for DCC but it is very confusing. Has anyone wired this layout for DCC? It looks as you could use reversing modules to the yard rather than all the switches that the book has to install.
I understand that Atlas has used these controller switches to shut the yard down so that your locos are powered down. Is this the way it should be done?
Also if you wired this layout , did you use all the blocks? Also Atlas plan does not look as if they are using reversing modules. Coming in and out of the yard it seems that you need one. I am making this a full dual mainline like the ones I have seen and I want to run trains , do scenery but not get involved in complicated operation.
Just want to save myself some head aches if I can. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
