DCC Basics with Digitrax 

What a fantastic video for anyone thinking of switching from Analouge (DC) to Digital (DCC) When I first built my layout I went DC and while it was somewhat satisfying it did not give me the flexibility of running realistic train operations. Switching to DCC has given me far more enjoyment. I fully endorse all the information provided in this video.

Nice

Märklin uses a proprietary protocol. However, their current electronic equipment is fully capable of DCC as well, but you would have to adjust some settings for this. If you like the Märklin equipment, consider to buy the Trix-versions of it - same hardware, but configured to do DCC by default. Trix is actually a brand of Märklin for the two track market (scales H0 and N) since 1997. Even many traditional Märklin-users switched to DCC because the decoder configuration seems to be more convenient to them.
