Building Your First Model Railroad, MRROne Project Railroad Part 2: Laying Track and DCC Install
Welcome back everybody! Be sure to subscribe! Today we are continuing our MRROne Project Railroad, a great compact beginner model railroad for everyone!. We are installing the foam base terrain today and painting it. The big thing we are doing though is laying the track and wiring up the DCC System. We will be using DCC++ for this layout. I have linked all of the necessary tutorials to program the DCC++ system below

“The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.
But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
don’t be happy when they stumble.
For the Lord will be displeased with you
and will turn his anger away from them.
Don’t fret because of evildoers;
don’t envy the wicked.”
Proverbs 24: 16-19 NLT
