| | | | | (...) When you say LDCC do you mean DCC for RCX, or something else? If DCC for RCX, have you checked the header of this very newsgroup in web view? It has a link to Mark Riley's site... (URL) that helps. If it didn't, can you ask your question (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.trains)
