The DT100 is indeed the throttle that came with the original Cheif. Is it a good throttle; well it depends. The DT100 is what gave Digitrax a bad name for "easy to use" as in "not." If you set yourself up with a "cheat sheet" with the commands you are likely to use a lot, you'll do just fine. If the price is reasonable go for it, as the "Chief" with the DT100 throttle was the top of the line. You can add any current Digitrax throttle to your system. A cheap second throttle is the "non-programming" UT throttle, which many people buy. If you buy this system, do yourself a favour and buy "The Big Book of DCC." It is easier to understand than the manual with the Chief and will make things clearer to you. Trust me on this. If the system comes with a video - the video will put you to sleep. With the system you are proposing, you can upgrade to anything Digitrax has to offer. Its a very good system.
