Actually most DCC loco decoders use pulse width modulation for their output to the motor, so they are also pulse power and with some of them, you can change the frequency of the pulses to accommodate the motor type.
I've used command control for my S scale trains since before DCC existed, but there's nothing wrong with DC. My garden railroad still uses DC, but I normally only run one train at a time on it. One of these years, it may get converted, but I'm trying to avoid doing anything other than maintenance on it until my S scale layout is further along.

Still running a TECH II made for HO I think. Small amount of track. Stan Hi Stan.... Nothing wrong with conventional DC. It sure is easier to understand. DCC is lots of fun, but it takes a fair amount of learning and troubleshooting which is not always fun. Being more complex also means there is a lot more that can go wrong. Sort of like driving a car compared to riding a bike. Cheers...Ed L. ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
