Experienced DCC Operators Can Help

Do you run DCC? If you do, then you might be able to help Donald, Raju, Al and Peter with their DCC questions. To suggest an answer simply click on the GREEN comments link below their questions. I’m sure they will be very happy for your help.

Donald has a question on DCC switching points in HO/OO:

“In the DCC world using the Accessory controller for point control, and using a CD unit – how many switching points can be safely operated? I am using Seep point switches, and am proposing say 6 units in the operation.”

Raju has an N scale layout and a question on DCC track sections:

“I am planning to use DCC for my railroad model. I would like to know if I need sections of the track for DCC, or can I use complete single circle track to run my DCC equipped Train?”

Al asks about DC and DCC:

“I have been collecting a few components to build an HO model railroad. Will a DCC locomotive run properly on a conventional DC power pack?”

Peter has an HO layout and a question about DCC decoders:

“I have a locomotive with two motors. Do I need two decoders or one for a conversion to DCC?
