To those that answer thanking you in advance!
I am designing an HO system where all the vehicles I have purchased to date are DCC ready. I was looking at getting the Bchmann Wireless System or the Direct Connect system to control the trains. A nice forum person explained the DCC should not be used for DC trains due to possible burnout and many lac AC for accessories and will need a other power source!
Here it is I see they have DCC turnouts, what are the advantages and dis advantages of buying those switches over the standard remote switch. What will I get, consulted a website but it was still to difficult for a novice. If I buy DCC decoder switches will I have to run wire at all?
I will likely run 2 trains simul at once on this table, a trolley on sep line and a Lionel O scale on a 2nd level circling the lower HO, ON30 scale train. I know a DC train and AC train should not be ran on a DCC system but can a DCC train be ran on a DC powered system? If I have standard remote switches do I have to run wiring and stuff to the DCC system or to the sep power source I purchased.
