Best book on DCC fundamentals and implementation

G3750G3750OGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER
All:

I am planning the design and construction of a 10'x20' HO scale layout (not for myself) that will use DCC. The must-have requirements are:

  • Reliable operation, preferably hands-off
  • Computer control of trains, accessories, and lights
  • Simplistic wiring and maintenance characteristics


I am looking for a guide that will educate me on DCC fundamentals as they relate to reliability and assist me in planning such a layout. Objectivity would also be nice.

It might be that no single book like that exists, but I'd like your input and advice. Thanks,

George

Hi George,

I am doing similar research and am curious what you find as a good resource.  I was pointed in the direction of a great computer control program for your layout and it even can run the trains from a smartphone or tablet/iPad .  Check out  www.freiwald.com . 

Another forum member pointed me in that direction and it is the best control software package I have been able to find so far.
