is kato unitrack DCC compatible?

[hylik]

I’m desiging my layout to use kato unitrack but i’ve read on several places that it’s not DCC compatible…

my layout is N scale, with #6 turnouts and a double crossovers…

I need the answer so i can change now or keep the current plan using other type of track.

It isn’t the track, it is how it is put together. As implied in the response quoted here, any commercial and hand-laid track can serve either in DC or DCC…don’t make no mevermind. Depending on how you configure the track system, you may need gaps and reversers, but again, DC or DCC, both the same that way. Just get the track you can at a good price, or better yet, learn to lay flex track. Much…waaayyy…cheaper.

There is a difference between DC and DCC. DC is more tolerant of momentary shorts. DCC as a rule is not. An example is when a wheel momentarily bridges the unselected points of a turnout and the stock rail. If the stock rail and the unselected points are not the same polarity, most DCC boosters will shut down to protect equipment.
