MER Clinic: Digital Command Control Troubleshooting

This clinic covers methods for troubleshooting DCC problems encountered in an operating layout, with emphasis on modular layouts set up at a train show. It includes methods for detecting the problem component (such as a locomotive, the track, wiring, a throttle, a DCC component, and radio issues), testing, replacing and verifying proper operation after a repair. Tools for use in managing DCC layouts will be demonstrated, and recommendations made for setting up the layout for optimum DCC operation.
