Description

The Wiring For DCC Q&A Forum is dedicated to answering your questions about wiring your model trains for Digital Command Control. This is the new Q&A forum for the Wiring for DCC website. The old forum's server is no longer supported.

This forum is applicable to all brands of DCC equipment. All DCC wiring topics such as layout wiring, turnouts and control, sound, locomotive decoder wiring, and DCC garden wiring are discussed in this forum.

All that we ask is that this forum ONLY be used for DCC wiring questions and answers. Off-topic postings will be promptly deleted and may result in your being banned from the group.

Please give your message a meaningful subject title. This will aid others who come along later and might be interested in what you have learned.

If you wish to provide diagrams or whatever to go with your question, you will need to upload it separately to the files area. Yahoo! Groups doesn't allow attachments.

Thank you and enjoy! We hope you find this forum useful!
