This is the video you've been asking me to do for several years--a review of the ESU DCC System. Today we'll take a look at what comes with the CabControl Wireless DCC system, go over all the connections, and see how to power it all up, select a loco and run it. I'll also show you how you can use Digitrax throttles, other wifi based throttles such as the TCS UWT-100 or cell phones, and get you up and running. Then in a later video we'll explore more functions such as programming decoders, and some more advanced features of the system. I'll also show you how to connect your computer and use programs like JMRI/DecoderPro. But for now let's learn how to crawl before we try to walk or run.
