| DCC
DCC or Digital Command Control enables you to drive the train and not the track. It works by putting a constant voltage on the track and overlaying it with signals to your locos. Inside each loco there is a decoder which receives commands from the base station and tells the loco what to do. Each loco has a different address and can be fitted with a variety of different decoders from a basic 1 or 2 function model up to a multifunction sound and light operating module. |

| | Slot Car
What is a slot car? My definition of a slot car is a very nicely detailed model of a real car that you would actually recognize. To slot fans, detail and accuracy of the model is important, an unrecognizable car that just goes fast is a non starter. The car is fitted with an electric motor and a guide blade that fits into a slot in the track. Either side of the guide blade are to twisted braid electrical pick ups to transfer track current to the motor. You, the driver, can several feet away with a controller in your hand and the more you "squeeze" the controller, the faster the car goes, let off the trigger and the car slows down. The car will follow the slot in the track and find it's way around the circuit. So you put the car on the track, with the guide in the slot, pull the trigger and off goes a great looking and performing slot car, and you're having fun.
A common question is will all 1/32 slot cars work on any brand slot car track? The answer is yes all modern, readily available 1/32 slot cars will work just fine on all branded slot car track.
