DCC Requirenments


DCC Requirements to run on our railroad

Our addressing scheme is simple; we just use the locomotive number itself as the locomotive address. There is a first-come-first-serve rule where an engineer with a locomotive that has the same number as another one must use a different number / address.

We have 10 radio controlled throttles and several tethered throttles.

Any brand of digital decoder will work fine.

All turnouts are Shinohara power-routing.
