It’s not even Christmas yet but Model Rail magazine and OnTracks are already promoting the DCC Live 2009 model railway event taking place on April 25th. Exhibitors will include Hornby, Roca and Fleischmann. The event is being held at:
OnTracks
Unit 1 Pontrilas Business Park
Pontrilas
Hereford HR2 0AZ
United Kingdom
It’s on a Saturday between 10am and 4pm and it’s free to attend but there are also DCC ‘taster’ sessions that cost £10. To book a DCC session call: 01981 241 268 or just turn up if you’re only interested in the exhibition.
Side note: ‘DCC’ stands for ‘Digital Command & Control’; going digital means locomotives on the same track can be controlled independently - lots of scope for rear-end shunt videos on YouTube then! Existing locomotives can be upgraded by installing a DCC decoder though you’ll obviously still need a DCC controller as well.
