Booster Units Create Power Districts On Layout

Malcolm contributes these thoughts on DCC:

Power loss can be a problem on large layouts with a large amount of track to feed when using DC control.

On a digital layout booster units solve this problem. A booster unit can create a power district with its own power supply. The booster unit takes the digital signal data and adds the new power supply across the layout.

Accessories such as turnout motors can be powered from a booster unit making their operation independent to the track.
