The Brandywine and Benedictine Railroad (B&B) is an Appalachian coal hauling railroad set in the mid 1950s. The layout is HO scale, it was owned and built by Norm Stenzel. This case study was originally presented as part of the “Digitrax Big Book of DCC” and it has been reproduced here from that text. This study was originally presented as part of three chapters about DCC Installation based on different layouts. The other layouts discussed were the Sante Fe & Western and the Norcross Southern. It is recommended that you read these studies as well as some of the topics overlap.
