Learn more about model railroading and digital command control (DCC) from Model Railroader magazine contributing editor Larry Puckett. Although this channel provides a lot of information on DCC I also do videos on all subjects related to model railroading. I have been a serious model railroader since around 1980 and began working with and writing about DCC in 1994. I was a contributing editor for Model Railroading magazine from 1991-2006 where I wrote general feature articles, product reviews and columns on computer applications and DCC. Since 2015 I have been a contributing editor for Model Railroader magazine and also wrote the monthly DCC Corner column from 2015 until 2020. I have written over 250 articles and 4 books; Practical Guide to Digital Command Control, Wiring Your Model Railroad, Wiring Projects for Your Model Railroad, and DCC Projects and Applications vol. 4.
