Great book to add to any model railroader’s collection
Larry Puckett is a prolific writer on all things DCC. His videos, on YouTube, are excellent and this book is no different. Larry covers many aspects of DCC and explains many of the confusing aspects of this major part of modern model railroading. While the book does not go into depth, it is an excellent resource to the genre.

Well written and extremely useful publication
This an excellent book for anyone wanting to get started model railroad DCC control systems. This very informative publication is one of those you read from cover to cover twice and then keep it handy for reference. Almost all of the questions someone just getting started are addressed in easy to read language that leads you through the subject in words you can understand. This is a must read book for the DCC beginner just getting started and I would think for those already in DCC as a reference on particular subjects.

Being new to the hobby and craft of modern RR modeling, this article has taken much of the heretofore mystery and confusion out of the discipline of DCC for me.

Das ist nun der vierte Teil in der Serie zu DCC und ich habe irgendwie den Verdacht, es handelt sich um gesammelte Artikel. So sind ein paar ganz interessant, einige aber nicht. Will man wirklich ĆĀ¼ber DIgitale Systeme Bescheid wissen, muss man wahrscheinlich alle vier BĆĀ¤nde kaufen und sich die jeweiligen Artikel raussuchen. Oder man kauft sich ein anderes Buch, welches das Thema umfassend behandelt.
