Synopsis

When published in 2007, Aspects of Modelling: Digital Command Control was one of the first books to address this important new technology for railway modelers. Reprinted twice, the book has been the essential introductory guide for all modelers using digital command control (DCC). This new updated edition encompasses all recent changes in this technology, and is certain to be popular with keen modelers wishing to master the latest developments. DCC has been one of the most radical developments in the model railway hobby in recent years, and the equipment is comparatively expensive and comprehensive. DCC enables one to operate each locomotive on a model layout individually using computer technology, making the whole operation far more realistic. Special effects such as sound can also be added with DCC and most proprietary models come with DCC compatibility. It is also possible to upgrade older models to take advantage of this new technology.

About this title

About the Author

Ian Morton has been modelling for more years than he cares to admit to and has written books on various aspects of model railways, ranging from baseboards to Digital Command Control. He is also a regular contributor to Hornby Magazine. He believes it has never been easier to build a model railway as demonstrated by his 'Shake-the-Box' layout, built from ready to use items, serialised in Hornby Magazine and a similar layout constructed for a DVD.
