Product Description

Product Description

From background information on the technology itself to layout wiring; taking in decoders, hand controllers, wireless and many practical modelling projects, Neil Burkin offers a comprehensive introduction to Digital Command Control [DCC] for the beginner and experienced modeller alike.


About the Author

Nigel Burkin has been modelling British Rail Southern Region practice in 4mm scale for over 20 years, introducing Digital Command Control to his layout projects in 2001. Since then, he has explored many areas of the control system to see how it can benefit the modeller with respect to re-creating realistic railway operations. He is a published author, editor and photographer with hundreds of magazines articles under his belt together with three modelling titles. Resident - Scotland

4.0 out of 5 stars New to DCC? This book is for you, 8 Dec 2008
By P. George (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A Practical Introduction to Digital Command Control for Railway Modellers

Being new to digital command control I needed a book that would give me the basic know how to get up and running without the need to do a PhD in computer programming and electronics. This book more than met this need. Clearly written and with minimal technical jargon, Nigel Burkin takes you through the fundamentals of DCC, how to wire up a layout and how to install decoders into locomotives and other rolling stock. For the more adventurous and those with a more detailed understanding, there are also chapters on adding sound and layout programming. Easy to understand, this book helped me get my layout running in no time. DCC no longer seems an alien concept and is not nearly as complicated as some people make out. Definitely worth buying if you're new to DCC.
