Task description

Critical path for documentation refresh:

Feedback from Sumner:

The newer documentation fails to list the reverser mode but is in the older version...

Valid Modes are:

    DCC modes

        MAIN

        MAIN_INV

        MAIN_AUTO 2

        PROG

        NONE

    DC modes

        DC

        DC_INV 1 3

        DCX 1

        NONE

I find the newer documentation to be somewhat confusing and seems to imply that the DC modes are maybe for advanced users? I look at DCC-EX being a viable option for a DC only user and push that on a number of train boards and try and push a command station/EngineDriver combination as a simple way to handle the track outputs without needing EXRAIL knowledge. I use that combo at times even when using another throttle only to switch track modes quickly.

It could be mentioned that a CSB1 & an 8874 gives one an easy path to 4 districts.

Thought from @Asbelos :

Thanks for that feedback... I'm thinking we need a kind of cookbook dedicated to dc running. That way the confusing mixing of dc and dcc can be left to the more experienced users who can read the reference stuff.
