Speed in DCC

Being new to DCC I'm curious as to the top speed for engines. I'm not looking to get the speed that I can with DC but it seems that my engines are running at about 15-20% of what I would like. How can I bring up the speed? Thanks John

Automatic interlocking

I have a situation where I need automatic turnout control. It's a one track to two track remote interlocking . Coming from the single track to double I want the turnout thrown reverse for right hand running. Until the train clears the interlocking I want the turnout to be reversed. Once the West bound has cleared if the next traffic is eastbound I want the turnout to go normal and hold until the train clears. If the next train is westbound I want it to remain as it is. While I do have  remote ctc dispatching I have no room on my ctc board to add this . Any ideas ?

A-Track – Transfer to new server forces update

Following the disruption to my website caused by the service provider transferring it to a new server, it has been necessary to update A-Track to handle the new server file access rules. Any MRH reader who is running a previous version is recommended to download this update. As always, all of your current settings and files will be preserved when you install the update.

NCE Panel Question

I see NCE has a number of panels that are used on the fascia of layouts for connecting controllers to around the layout.  I have the NCE Power Cab starter set and I've now got a second N scale layout to power.  I assume there is a panel I can buy (with walwart) that I can connect to the new layout and just switch my Power Cab between the two layouts, but I'm not sure which one will do this (assuming one will).

I tried sending NCE an email but haven't heard a response back in some time so thought I would ask here.  

Thanks in advance.

Operation of Dual Mode Decoders on DC?

How good is the slow speed operation of dual mode decoders on Direct Current (DC)? Can you get an engine to crawl?

If lighting effects (Rule 17) have been programmed on the decoder, will they work in DC?
