Is there still a call for a DCC forum
- Thread starter shamus
- Start date
I voted yes as it would get all DCC questions in one area.
But I'm concerned that those of us that don't use DCC will not frequent this forum and will miss the opportunity to provide an answer to someones question. Or learn something from the discussion.
In other words, Will to many sub forums divide the group? (not a complaint, just concerned)

I've installed decoders in some interesting locos that I'd be willing to post in a separate forum.
It would seem to me that it would be handy to have a dedicated forum for dcc that could be referenced by anyone with questions. It would seem much easier to find solutions at a dedicated forum than having to scroll through the technical Q & A forum looking for dcc specific threads. It would be even better if those starting a thread in such a forum would be very specific in their titles, whether a question or posting as a resource, so that someone reading the title of the thread would at least have an idea of the subject that started the thread.

Same here. I'll be going DCC and I'll want to get the views of other modelers. Any Digitrax Super Empire Builder users out there?
When I was moving to DCC I had a lot of questions which were answered on other forums so know the folks here would like to take advantage of those of us that have DCC to answer questions and provide ideas etc.
I don't know....... 
If I need to ask something (including DCC) I'll ask in the Technical Q&A.
What else is this section good for, if not technical stuff like DCC???
Are we trying to Model The-Gauge after other forums? ops:
Too much choice can be confusing sometimes. Keep it Simple, like my uncle would say..
Thank you for your support :thumb:

Yes. Recently got into Z scale DCC and b4 jumping in feetfirst cut my teeth on what i could find in forums. The info was invaluable to a DCC newbie. Having a DCC forum on The-Gauge will be an asset. Thanx.
Yikes, Z scale DCC!? Makes me feel old to remember when you needed a permanently coupled dummy unit to have DCC in HO scale. I wonder if live steam is in the works?
Why - just because 22 (at last count) said yes? You could get that many votes for almost anything! I agree with CN1.shamus said:
What's...
...DCC?
Yeah- make a forum for so I don't hafta thru whatever it is they're too concerned (Crap- fried another board!!!) about!
Make forums for every little concern that's a big concern for those concerned.

Too cool to care.

It's really amazing how DCC miniaturization has progressed. But live zteam?
A while back i did stumble across a website that related how someone (in the UK, i believe) many years back actually created a working live steam locomotive in 1:400 scale. A master machinist! If i can ever find it again will post it here.
I suggest you change the name of the forum to "DCC and Electronic issues". The computer - aside from DCC - is coming more into play and having an area where you can talk about all thing electronics and not just DCC will in the long run prove fruitful I believe. Or maybe "All things electronic & DCC"

I second that, Rick. We'd still have the Tech forum for the many other mechanical, electrical, structural questions and ideas that amuse us under the benchwork as well as on top.
