I'm not aware of any recent DCC books but there are some from 8-10 years ago. DCC, in my opinion, is not really all that relevant to three rail O gauge unless you are interested in doing a fair amount of hands on technical modifications and buying used locomotives since the only producer of DCC locomotives for O gauge, three rail, MTH is no longer producing a full line of products. And DCC cannot be operated at the same time as PS2 and Legacy/TMCC/LionChief equipped locos. As for instructions on combining DCC equipped locos and those from Lionel, you're pretty much on your own.

It can be done but with a lot of heavy lifting. That is why most people pick one or the other, DCC does not play with with Lionel or MTH
