The Blue Man
Hello all,
My layout is entering advanced planning at this time, so I am now looking into the electrical aspects.
I WILL for sure use Digital Command Control. Standard cab control has worked for me on my small layouts in the past, but since my new layout will play host to several trains, DCC is the way to go.
I plan on using Kato locomotives heavily; they just offer so many good locomotives at a price that is right. On the website, it says that a company called Train Control Systems (TCS) made drop-in decoders for their locomotives. Will these work with most major DCC manufacturers, such as Atlas, MRC, and CVP?
Also, I got a question about track feeders. Most bigger model railroads I see use good ole soldered feeders. I do not have a problem with this at all, but I have a question. I plan on using Code 55 Track from Atlas. They produce a thing called "Terminal Joiners". Are these any good to use?
Thanks for all help,
-Skylar
