Questions For Readers From A Fellow Model Train Enthusiast
Here are some questions from a model railroader that other readers might like to get their teeth into. Your contributions are welcome.
- I have a question; Can you run a DCC engine on a regular track and can you run a regular Train on a DCC track?
- I am close to finishing my 12X12 building for my layout…There are so many different layouts it is hard to know where to start?
- What size track do you like and why?…55 or 100?
What is the difference? - What type of switches do you recommend?
- If I have a DCC train running on a DCC track and switch to a non-DCC track what will happened?
- I am using MRC 6 amps. I am getting mixed messages as to track and switches.
I have one train that can only take a 32% turn, the engine is an F 7 and the rest is pass anger care. - I wanted to run a regular track all around the outside with no switches and it will run off the Seed controller…no stops or have it isolated from the rest of the layout? Good?

It depends on the manufaturer of the the DCC Engine you plan to run. I just finished reading a book on RR planning and it recommends that you do not set up your RR for both. Choose one or the other. But there are a few Engines that do run on both. Some require throwing an internal toggle others are automatic. Hoe this is helpful.
