Inhaltsangabe

Over recent years there has been one major and significant advance in model railway technology-the development of Digital Command Control (DCC). Historically, wiring of a model railway was potentially complex and it was almost impossible to control more than one train at a time. DCC simplifies the wiring significantly and, via the use of chips that give each locomotive a unique identity, allows for the operation of multiple trains simultaneously. For modelers, DCC represents a considerable challenge, particularly for those who have been modeling for a number of years and who may have significant collections of locomotives and rolling stock that predate the development of DCC. This informative new title will include instructive text allied to hundreds of images including step-by-step photographs showing how non-DCC compatible locomotives can be converted to DCC operation. This new title is the ultimate guide to Digital Command Control and is a must have for all rail and modeling enthusiasts worldwide.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Ian Morton has been modelling for more years than he cares to admit to and has written books on various aspects of model railways, ranging from baseboards to Digital Command Control. He is also a regular contributor to Hornby Magazine. He believes it has never been easier to build a model railway as demonstrated by his 'Shake-the-Box' layout, built from ready to use items, serialised in Hornby Magazine and a similar layout constructed for a DVD.
