My Husband & I just this week got our DCC set up with 2 differant Loco's. One is the NW611 HO, and the other is a Deisel NW 6508 both are Bachman's. With a EZ-command controller.
It was our understanding the DCC meant that sound is on board the trains?
#1. Is that correct? If not how do you get sound? What do we have to do?
#2 . We are very concerned about the 611 as it cost a fortune, when he took it out of the box, and put it on the track, the Loco came apart from the Tender. is that OK, or does the tender have to be connected to the Loco in a permanent way?
Finally, is there a book out there that will help us understand this system and how it is supposed to work?
Thanks, we have been running Anilog Trains for years, and this is just so differant.
