So many myths and mis-information have been perpetuated about Digital Command Control (DCC) that it is difficult to know where to start to refute them. DCC is a means of operating your layout. It won't make the tea, burn down the house or require you to take a degree course in rocket science to run a train. It works out of the box and is readily available.
I have written an book for people who want to adopt DCC - see the Books page. I have also written a series of articles on the subject for Hornby Magazine. Clicking here will take you to the Hornby Magazine website to order a back number.
