Jumping to DCC and Need Help with Everything
#5
I haven't gone DCC because I have some British legacy locomotives that won't convert easily. I did work with a friend for several years.
It might help to do some New Math. We found that the leaflets that came with the DCC bits would randomly use numbers in decimal, octal, binary and hexadecimal. They also seemed to switch between starting counting at 0 or 1. (This was 20 years ago, so I'm a bit hazy.)

It might help to have someone nearby using the same system as you choose.

Hang on to your DC controller. Get locos working smoothly on DC before you add the chip (if they aren't chipped already).
