There are many pros and cons to DCC. Generally better operation of trains, running multiple trains without a great deal of specialized wiring for different areas of the layout, and all kinds of lighting capabilities and possibly sound as well. On the otherhand, there is the cost of the DCC control units, the cost and installation of decoders, and specialized wiring and control for reverse loops and wyes that a newly returned modeler might find daunting for a layout for the "kids"! I would suggest that you get the track down and trains running before a substantial out lay for control. <br />Will
