Wiring for DCC is no different than wiring for DC. The DCC "friendly" turnout is a myth. If DC works on a layout, so will DCC.
Matter of fact, when I began building my current layout I wired it for DC, as I had no DCC equipment yet. When I purchased my DCC system (Digitrax Zephyr), I just removed the powerpack and connected the power leads to the Zephyr, installed a couple of engines with decoders, and was off to the races.
I've been going at this for over 40 years, so hardly anything happens that I haven't seen before and can't find a fix for it...
