the only difference that I saw with anttenna orientation was a little more range. It still glitched like crazy. I put the filter/ bypass caps on the motor. Shielded everything and it still glitched. <br />Battery power just didn't meet my needs. It is limited in running time. You have to fool with charging batterys. It doesn't stop if the loco derails, and having to have a battery car to carry the batteries on most locos. Battery power may be fine for some people, but I wasn't happy with it. It is cheaper, and alot less hassle for me to run DCC. <br />As I stated before. Track cleaning is not a problem for me. I run a track cleaning car almost all the time. The only place that dirty tracks have been a problem is the little used sidings. They are easy enough to clean with a scrubby pad. Only takes about 5 minutes, and everything is spiffy. <br />I'm not saying that DCC is better, or battery power worse. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages. In my situation, DCC was the most practical. I have an On30 layout inside that I use DCC on. DCC is the system that I am most familiar with. I only had to add a 10 amp booster, and run wires out to the yard. DCC is better for me. Each person will have different needs. Experiment with different systems before you decide on how you will go with "your" layout.
