fyzal-

If you're trained in electrical or electronic engineering you'll have absolutely NO problem with DCC. Plus, the instructions which come with decoders are designed for people with no such background so it should be very hard for you to go wrong.

btw,guys what type of train is the blue train from the movie UNSTOPPABLE? i love that train

here are the units from unstoppable

1206, the unit denzell washington ran: emd sd40-2 with modified cab windows

2001, the passenger special engine: emd gp9, rebuilt to gp11 by illinois central gulf.

767 & 777, the runaways, ge ac4400cw, built for cp rail

5580 & 5624 aka 7355 & 7375. these two appeared in a couple of scenes, most notably the scene where they rolled over and caught fire: LATE emd sd40-2. these are 2 of the last 4 sd40-2s built, 1986.

I'm mildly surprised there is still interest in this fictional road--and even more surprised that there are web links for it!

Somebody is into computer-generated trains (this has been called V Scale, for "virtual"). and he has developed additional power for this movie road.
