An Introduction,

This review is from: DCC Projects & Applications: Digital Command Control for Your Model Railroad (Model Railroader) (Paperback)
Do not buy this book supposing that it will teach you all you need to know about digital command and control for model railroads. It will NOT do that. Instead, it will teach the basic ideas behind DCC and provide a wealth of information as to how the technology can be used. It can be used for much more than just controlling multiple locomotives.
The approach is basic and easy to understand. It outlines the differences between DCC and traditional wiring, points our what kind of equipment is needed for various applications and even takes a look at some of what is out on the market. I am well satisfied. I need to know more but this book helps me to get started on the right path.

Not bad, but not for the DCC Beginner,

This review is from: DCC Projects & Applications: Digital Command Control for Your Model Railroad (Model Railroader) (Paperback)
This has some good, general and various ideas for DCC. What it isn't about is DCC Basics (at least not very much - just a brief mention). There are other books to get for that. This one focuses on what to do after you get a basic DCC setup going. It's good to keep in a club library or one you'll share with others, but it isn't one I reach for all the time, while getting more out of my DCC layout and motive power.

This review is from: DCC Projects & Applications: Digital Command Control for Your Model Railroad (Model Railroader) (Paperback)
This book clearly outlines the basics of DCC without getting bogged down and follows on with some practical projects.
In line with the publisher of this article however the bulk of the examples of equipment and models shown relate to the USA models and manufacturers with the UK sadly missing out on a mention in any area. Overall a great book that further demonstrates the potential of DCC for the hobbiest
