A Distributed Capability Computing System (DCCS)

In AMRM 247 (August 2004) I reviewed the Fleischmann LOK-BOSS entry level DCC system. While reviewing that system, and drawing attention to its basic simplicity, I mentioned TWIN TECHNIK, the Fleischmann multi-train control system that is compatible with both their proprietary FMZ digital system and the ubiquitous NMRA DCC standard. At the heart of this multi-format system is the TWIN-CENTER, and I have now had the opportunity to extensively use and review one of these units.
