Just started modelling again and decided to go for DCC but I am now wondering if I made the right decision. My motto has always been 'Keep it simple'. Now this DCC don't seem simple to me!! I have read so much that my brain has fried and I really don't know what to do next. Thought I start to think about points, wish I hadn't!! Simple question, but cannot find a straight answer..........how do I make a set of points work using DCC? Following on from that, how do I make lots of sets of points work? I need some kind fellow to guide me as to what type of points I should use, which type of point motor, can I control directly from the controller or do I need a bank of switches for the points and so on. Heeeeeeeeeeelp!

Many thanks guys for all that loverly information. Keep me busy for a while. Thanks again.

Hi Guys, I have just started modelling again and was intending to model S&D at Radstock. Just collecting bits and pieces before I start track laying. However, I have failed at the first hurdle as I cannot find a definitive source of info regarding the coaching stock. I have loads of books about the S&D and was hoping I could get my info from them, alas not. Firstly I tried researching the Pines Express and a typical coaching make up for it. Again I have failed. Recently I have been searching for info on the Southern Coaching stock used regularly on the S&D both Maunsell & Bullied but again have failed miserably. I am modelling in era 5 around 1960 ish. Any held or direction would be much appreciated. Mocco
