Automatic Operation with DCC

A friend and I have a joint project building a very large OO/HO layout. (He's British outline, I'm US). The layout is 30' x 15' inside with a double track main running elevated in the garden for about 400'. We are looking at Lenz DCC as the modern way to go but it doesn't seem to go far enough! We're also looking at PC control with a system from www.CTI-Electronics.com. Perhaps we'll be able to integrate the two. I've had the same thoughts re reliable wiring for DCC and the outside mainline has feeds to a cable bus from every piece of flex track. I figured we'd have to make a soldered jump connection across every joint anyway - might as well do it properly! <br /> <br />It's coming very close to decision time on how to proceed on the control aspect so we're hoping to see as much as possible being reported here or anywhere else. If you come across any other links relevant I'd be really pleased to hear about them. <br /> <br />Spence
