I have been an advocate for DCC since I got into model
railroading almost 15 years ago. Since my background is
electronics, sound and radio, it was a natural fit. However,
I feel that there is a lot there for even non-technical folks.
That's my reason for this column. If you find something here
that makes sense, then perhaps you will consider the plunge
now or in the future.

Figure 2 shows the RMP as it was in May when it got too hot
here in Arizona to work on the outdoor railroad. You can see
that it will not support many operators even when it is finished.
During construction, I don’t run DCC on the RMP all the
time. I'm using both a DC power-pack and the DCC system
in the shakedown process. Whenever I need to run on DC, I
remember what it was like before DCC.
