Switching Tracks

Earlier this week, I transformed my test track into a DCC service track. Inspired by Nigel Burkin (2008), A Practical Introduction to Digital Command Control for Railway Modellers, Ramsbury: Crowood, I simply inserted a centre-off DPDT switch and an extra cable. The original cable is now the program cable, and the extra one the DCC power cable. Both are fitted with plugs to fit my ZTC 511 control system.

The next task will be to actually fit a decoder to one of my locos, and I’ve chosen the Weidknecht Decauville because of its run-in RTR chassis.
