DCC: An acronym for Digital Command Control, a standard created by the #NMRA

DCC controls locomotives, therefore trains, in a more realistic fashion than a rheostat.

- Permits multiple locomotives to operate independently on a layout.
- A locomotive's headlight, ditch lights, &, other functions to be operated interactively.
- Allow multiple locomotives to operate cooperatively

New Page added to the DCCWiki:

PECO: Unifrog Double Slip Wiring.

The double slip adds operational challenges, and can be challenging to wire. There are four connections available, and PECO recommends completely isolating the turnout from adjoining trackage.

Layout Command Control

An adjunct to Digital Command Control, & an #NMRA Standard. Provides a bus for auxiliary functions, reducing load on the throttle network.

LCC does not require a computer to operate!

Railroad Model Craftsman has a 3 part series on LCC beginning August 2024

PECO'S UNIFROG is a new turnout design, combining features of the Insulfrog and Electrofrog.

Supplied as Insulfrog, easily changed to Electrofrog.

It includes a wire to permit powering the frog. Compatible with #DCC when the instructions are followed.

There are several ways of measuring the voltage on the track with Digital Command Control.

Its nature means measurements may not reflect reality, and how the measurement is made is important.

Digital multimeters often give misleading results due to how they actually measure the voltage.

Trains.com was also part of the deal and will live on.

Unfortunately the staff layout, the Milwaukee, Racine and Troy (MR&T) will be dismantled as the office building has been sold.

After 90 years, Kalmbach Media's shareholders have decided to liquidate the company and its assets by end of year.

Railway modellers preparing their models for exhibition. A trained eye of a person who knows the history of hackers will notice a return to the roots ;)
