DCC Beginner
Jacob is new to DCC and wants to hear comments from others who operate a DCC system and asks:
“What do I need for dcc, and what are boosters? Also, how do I know if I need more than one booster?”
There is a whole section on DCC in the Model Train Help Ebook which I’m sure Jacob will find really helpful. In the meantime someone might like to give him some quick pointers.

JACOB, DCC come as a complete starter system, such as the Super Empire builder from Digitrax, you would decide on infra red or radio, but radio is the way to go….Comes with everything you need to get started…The command station is a DB 150,a booster is only another command station hooked to the main command station, instructions will show you how to hook it up there is a jumper wire hooked to the second 150 to make it a booster….The origional set, should run most tracks, a booster is needed only if you need more power to run more trains, usually on a larger layout. I have 360 feet of mainline, several switching areas, and one booster was needed…Several engines run at the same time and the extra power worked out well. The help book should aid you.Read everything you can on the DCc systems….Herb Sr
