I have researched and researched about DCC.... but I haven't found any answers to my simpler questions. Maybe someone here with DCC experiance can help.
I know that with multiple DC controlled tracks that are connected through switches and turnouts, all the locos will run the same direction, at the same rate as each other until you reverse the direction on the DC Controller. Then they will do the same in reverse.
The real question is with DCC, can I run trains in opposite directions at the same time with the tracks being connected. Not talking about running them head on into each other, just opposite directions on opposite tracks. But the tracks are connected through turnouts.
Question #2.
I have 26 DC locos. Is it going to be extremely difficult to wire them for DCC? I know it will be extremely expensive. I want DCC and sound in each leading loco and just DCC in the trailing units. I am planning on going with a Digitrax setup.
I figure that buying all new DCC equipped locos will not be worth it.
Any help is appreciated.
