4 x 8 HO Layout with Double Ovals

Richard asks readers:

“I’m starting on a 4×8 layout with double ovals and a small yard inside the inner oval. im running on DC for now. I have a loco that can also run on dcc. My question is can I just switch over to DCC even if my switches are insulated Atlas switches? Any special wiring I need to know about? For now my layout is just flat landscape.”
