Electronics can be frightening and off putting but DCC is just two wires!!!
Basic DCC system is based on Digitrax with the support of CML products.
Occupancy is driven via Digitrax BDL168 units
Point control is via Digitrax DS64 units operating 4 motors each.
Point control and |Route setting can also be operated via 3 mimic boards one at each of 3 operating positions on the layout. They are driven by CML products - DTM30 Towermaster units.
This mimic board also controls the lower level storage areas as well as part of the main operating level.
This small mimic board is positioned at the Terminus Station point but also controls lower Goods Yard shunting areas.
Dymewood has 3 magnetic boards which show schematics of stations, yards and hidden loops. these help operators communicate the movements and positions of loco's and trains using small magnetic tape noted with loco roster numbers and also train types/lengths.
Took some time out from building layout this year to do some real driving!
Yes a great day Driver Training at Swanage
Everyone outside it wet through, I am toasty warm in the cab!
Must do this again, and again, and again......
