The questions are: Where do I start?
or What do I need?

1. Video for instruction

Basic Video

The DC-car-System Video with a small Modellrailroad

More videos and pictures

2. Possibilities

There are many ways to use the DC-Car system:

Control without DCC adressing

Functiondecoder This can be use Address of Crossings.
More information Function-modul.

Control with DCC adressing

With Progset´s you can control the DC-Cars like a model railroad.

3. Request

Importent for controlling via a PC is the request:Request-Modul

4. Turn Offs

To turn off of into a new direction, one needs a turn-off.
The simplest solution is with a servo driven turn-off. To control it one needs electronics to operate the servo. Additional elecctronics, the Category:Function-Modul, DC-Cars get the turn signal instructions as a result of the turn-off being set.

Automatic Turn-offs with TINY

Using feedback sensors on can operate turnoffs from the vehicles themselves.
This works with Servotiny´s in a few turn-offs.

Automatic Turn-offs with Servos and Servo Decoder

Better than electromagnets/coils is using servo turn-offs and servo decoder.
Via the Inputprint on can operate servo decoders via feedback sensors.

The Advantage: By coupling a Servodecoder#S4DCC-Car with a function module one sends turn signal commands to the DC-Car's.

5. Control of Traffic

For Traffic control you can use traffic signals.
This traffic signal decoder can be controlled with DCC addresses via a model railroad DCC capable controller.

So you can control the traffic signals with the PC.
Using Stoptiny or category:Function-Modul stops the DC-Car.

6. Vehicle Conversion

Mechanical Conversion

Electronic Conversion

As a first model, the [DC07-SI-LKW]] or DC07-SI-Bus is recommmended. Also see DC07-SI.
