Right Track 16 - Developments in DC and DCC" Explains how you can improve the running of your layout whether you use DC or DCC.
Howard Watkins is a new presenter to the Right Track series and he begins by explaining how to wire points for best running and then how to operate them for fine control. Switching polarity at crossings and reversing loops is essential to smooth running and Howard shows a range of methods from slide switch to the frog juicer.
If yours is a DCC layout, we take you to the next step on from our two previous Right Track DCC DVDS.
Howard gives an overview of systems and then shows how to set up decoders easily by using your PC - including CVS, speed curves and function mapping.
Then he moves on to coach and locomotive lighting and the fascinating subject of DCC Sound.
