I have minimal knowledge and skills in electronics. Can you suggest a book or other source to help me in wiring a layout? I will be using DCC... just don't know which system yet.
Thanks, Duncan

The Big Book of DCC is very useful.

Thanks for the tips. One of the suggestions someone gave is a book I had seen in the hobby shop alread. But every store in town has just that one book. The online sources look promising too.
Thanks again, Duncan
