B uild a DCC test track by Jerry Bengtson 1. Jerry built himself a DCC test track he can use at his workbench – follow along in this article to see how he did it. Test your DCC locos at your workbench I wanted a nice DCC test track that I could use at my workbench, so I built the one described in this article. I use a PowerCab system for the DCC signal. If you don’t have a PowerCab system, then you will need some other way to generate a DCC signal at your workbench like using a SPROG (see: sprog-dcc.co.uk). Once you have some way to create a DCC signal from your workbench, then you can adapt what I’ve done here to create your own DCC test track. I started with some ½” MDF board cut to 3” x 48”. Then I sanded the board and painted it white. I thought to also use this track to check car weight, so I added lines with NMRA weight stan- dards on it for rolling stock – but this doesn’t have anything to do with the DCC function, so you may elect to leave this off.
