Patto68 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hi Guys and Girls, Im in Aus and just ordered my first DCC loco box set, What im wanting to know pretty sure I already do, Can you run a DCC loco on a normal layout? Or do I have to remove the chip first? What are your main thoughts on DCC? The only way to go or what? many thanks everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graskie Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Welcome to the forum, Patto. DCC every time if you're just starting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hi Patto (from Sydney), Yes, you can run DCC on DC, but not recommended. And I agree with Graskie re going DCC. Take alook at this site for a comprehensive intro http://www.brian-lambert.co.uk/DCC.htm and also the DCC section on this site. If your set comes with a Select controller, make provision for upgrade to the Elite too. And rather than buying in Aust, take a look at UK discount online retailers like Hattons in Liverpool, much cheaper than Aust prices even with postage. Even with dollar dropping now, you save GST and VAT. Good luck with it, great hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
