The DCC University arose out of the questions raised through almost 9 years of operating Litchfield Station. Bruce developed it from a small installation business to the second largest DCC specialty shop in the world. During that time Bruce developed a lot of intellectural property that was on the Litchfield Station page. When he sold the business, he moved much of that information here and he has added to it since.
DCC stands for Digital Command Control. It is a way of having power continuiously on the track. This way, rolling stock can have lights and sound even when they are standing still.
Data is sent over the track from the base unit to a decoder located inside the locomotive or car, telling it what to do when.

What remains here is data about DCC - mostly my opinions.

In April 2010, Bruce sold the DCC dealership Litchfield Station, LLC. The DCC University is no longer associated with that commercial enterprise and they are solely responsible for running their business.
However, there is still a cooperative relationship between us. Links have been provided from here to the Litchfield Station web site, for the convenience of folks who browse the DCC University! CLICK HERE to go to the Litchfield Station website.
Understand, Bruce makes no profit on Litchfield Station sales now that he has sold the business.
