Anyone using DCC on their model railroad?

DCC is pretty simple from the wiring stand point. 2 leads feed power to my whole RR via short jumpers every 6 feet.

I'll get back to working on the RR one of these days. I got into it in a failing health situation......down to 127 lbs. (from 170 ish) at the time. I'm pleased to say that I'm recovering and up to 143lbs....now working on it to keep from geting done-lap disease.

I took on another project to keep me more active and am spending my time working on my new hot rod. Hay, had to fill up the other half of the shop. ....

Wow, beautiful layouts guys!

I'm working in HO. At this point I think I am going to do both.I'm going to wire things up with some basic blocks so I can run vintage locomotive stock if I want, but include feeders for the DCC system.

Pretty sure I'm going with NCE. Seems like they have lots of happy customers, and I like the fact that they are US made.

I have been using DCC on my hon3 layout for a few years now. I have the power cab system by ncr. it has been fun and has changed operations materially. I recommend the DCC change!

I have been gradually converting all my old analogue locomotives to DCC. Probably have over 50 of them so far. I don't have a home layout but have portable modules that I set up with other folks at various train shows and run trains on the resulting large layout. We all use wireless throttles and follow our trains around as they go. This is my home setup for my test track.


Here is one of the big layouts, 116 scale miles to go all the way around. Took me and my train a couple of hours.
