DCC?

<P> Dear CCSI, I recently bought a CVP Airwire 900 for my railroad and I absolutely love it. Battery powered DCC is definitely the way to go. It will run multiple engines, consists, lights, smoke, and sound like a regular DCC system and there is no tether or track power. You NEVER have to clean track again. Before I got it, I had a problem with sweet ants on the rail, and they would get mushed under and actually block the voltage and stop the engine. Slow speed running, even on wet rails or dirty track, is unbelieveable. CVP says it is based on common DCC standards and is not proprietary. You do have to have a CVP reciever/decoder in your engine to use the system. They say you can plug other makes of decoders into the reciever/decoder and use them. I would contact them about this just to be sure. Being that the system is wireless, you can take your DCC powered equipment to a friends track powered railroad and run and their track powered trains will not interfere with your system. Also, keep in mind many indoor track powered DCC accessories like signals and detection probably won't last long if left outside. Something to think about. I have had no problems with this system so far and plan on buying more. Contact them at CVP/USA.com</P>
