Outdated site, hard to read for beginners and occasionally he does things in around about ways that can be done simpler. I would not recommend this site to anyone at all.
Now if you are a beginner and want to know more about DCC, I suggest you go to Atlas’s forums and ask questions on the DCC forum. Or you could buy Digitrax’s Big book about DCC, much better than anything else out there.

Gary…tahnks for the info…supper site…Tom
Clearer and more accurate information is available from Tony’s Train Exchange or Loy’s Toys Web sites.
Yes, some of the information is too techical for the beginner. As I said "More Than You Care to Know. Hard to read? Yes, if you read at a fifth grade level. [sigh]
That’s too bad because I found it to have excelent information on how to solder which many beginners ask about. [X-)]

Hello friends,
Thanks so much for your responses to the DCC poll I posted on the General Discussion category just a few days ago. I recently received some good info from Bruce Petrarca at Litcfield Station as follows:

Thanks for supporting my little enterprise.

I still remember that in 2002 decoders with the “extra features” were going for $50 each, as someone stated in the poll. As predicted, DCC prices have DROPPED greatly as popularity increases and products become even more user friendly for beginners. What’s even better now is that DCC is upgradeable, so when advances are made, you won’t have to “get rid of” current DCC equipment.
Bruce also pointed out that many folks will spend quite a bit of $$ in creating an elaborate switch panel and purchase several “Cabs” when $160 for one Zephyr will do the same thing.
So for many of us that are interested in DCC but worry that it’s too expensive, that argument is quickly becoming “moot”.
If you go to the LItchfield Station website, Check out the DCC University category. There is an excellent downloadable PDF file on DCC principals, step-by-step. Your computer needs to have ADOBE Acrobat Reader on it. I am very GREEN when it comes to electronics, but reading this helped me overcome my DCC "fears and hesitation. Additionally, Bruce is VERY GOOD about answering e-mail questions regarding
