as for what to use as your sub bed I havn't got a clue at this point... but I would go with traditional track and flextrack over the unitrack or the EZ track idea.... <br /> <br />as for DC or DCC that is something you have to ask yourself a couple questions. <br /> <br />1. how many locomotives will you be running? <br />2. how simple of an operation are you running? <br />3. how good are you at wiring? <br />4. how much money are you willing to spend? <br /> <br />DC is inexpensive but you are limited to the number of trains you can operate safely at one time. Not to mention that the wiring for it can be rather complicated to someone who has never done it before. <br /> <br />Now with DCC you have the ability to run several trains at one, simplified wiring... However DCC is more expensive to purchase and the Locomotives are expensive as well, but on this note you also get the added features of possible sounds as well as constant light operation (unlike DC where the light goes up and down in intesity with your throttle.
