Actually, Tim, I'm guilty of the same thing. I often go nuts researching my purchases. I have to run to the Consumer Reports web site before I buy a stupid toaster! lol. I just can't buy anything because some salesman says its good and right for me. It seemed, though, that the more I read about DCC, the more I saw there is nothing to it. How many paragraphs can you read about command stations and boosters, etc? I learned the difference in the technologies that NCE and Digitrax use, but that stuff will never mean anything to a little guy like me. Anyway, I do reaize that learning all the facts before making a leap is the right thing to do. I am about to make my purchase. I would really like to get the Zephyr, and expand it as I need to, but right from the start, I would be pushing it, amperage wise. And the console throttle is useless for me. So, I'm probably going to bite the bullet and buy one of the bigger starter systems to start with. I will be buying my DCC stuff at Tony's in Vermont. I have not bought from him, but I have spoken with him on the phone, and like everyone else here says, he is a really nice guy. If you have something that is nagging you, call Tony's and they will answer your question, and they won't be in a hurry to hang up. I'm only delaying my purchase because I may be driving up to the old Plattsburgh NY air base next week, which is not that far from Tony's, and I would like to stop in his place and shake hands and say hello. Jim
