Hi Eric, I an sorry you thought I said DCC was rubbish, what I did say is that it just wasn’t suitable for me because I felt my locos ran better on DC, everyone that is remotely involved in model trains knows that problems can occur with just about every operating system it has been that way since clockwork locos used to break springs right up to the present day DCC, as far as short circuits are concerned I was referring to my mates layout, he buys Australian model railway models many of which have superfine wheels when used with DCC these cause short circuits when passing through his Peco points, when the same locos run on DC he doesn’t have the same problems, regardless as I mentioned in my previous post so long as we are all enjoying this great hobby that’s all that counts.
