Since these DVDs are not available anymore, remember there are others like you who would like this material so PLEASE SEED ;-)


Confused and mystified by the new technologies and opportunities of Digital Command Control?

You’re not alone, and those mysteries are fully explained and de-bunked in great detail by Nigel Burkin – a specialist in DCC systems and operation.

In conversation with Tony Wright, Nigel leads you along a clear path of understanding of: entry level products, their advantages and limitations, more sophisticated units, how to fit decoders into locomotives – electric, diesel, steam and even kit-built motive power, converting an analogue DC layout to DCC, programming and the numerous benefits of DCC control.

Whether you are starting a new layout or thinking of converting an existing one, this 3 hour programme removes the mystique and will lead you to a real appreciation of DCC systems, their benefits and disadvantages.

In Right Track 9 – also available from this site - Nigel considers more complex installations, operations, point-work, lighting systems, sound and smoke.

Right Track 8 and 9 are recorded in broadcast quality widescreen and have optional English subtitles for the hard of hearing.

Important: Resolution = 768 x 576. However, I have encoded these from 8GB to a reasonable uploading size, so there will be the odd loss of definition here and there.
I used the H265 format, so if you have difficulty playing this file I suggest you download a media player like VLC
