(Apologies if in the wrong place!)
Being pretty new at this, I thought I should pop into my local store to have a look at what's on offer. I duly popped into Master of Epsom - WOW! What an Alladin's cave! So much to choose from, I've come out more confused.
The chap who owns the store was very helpful though and didn't seem to mind that I knew little about nothing.
There are a couple of points I just need clearing up if that's ok? Probably very basic, so forgive me!
What is a frog? I have seen them mentioned in other posts, but I'm not at all certain as to what they are.
Is it possible to convert DC to DCC at a later date? As I understand it, you just need to change the controller to a DCC one and then add chips to the locomotives. Is it as simple as that? Is adding chips to locos a fairly straight forward task?
Thanks,
