Agreed; my first layout a decade ago was all DC, but when I decided to tear it down and build a new one about a year ago, the decision to go with DCC was a no-brainer. Sure, it's a bit more of an investment, but there's no law that says you have to convert all your existing locos all at once. Just do one or two at a time (though many places, like Tony's Train Exchange, give you bulk discounts on 4 or more decoders bought at once), and eventually you'll have them all done. And you don't have to get the top-of-the-line Digitrax decoders either; NCE and TCS both make very good decoders that are about 2/3 the price of the Digitrax, especially for older locos. About the only Digitrax decoder I buy these days is the one for the P2K locos (the DH163LO), and that's because it's the only drop-in decoder for them that doesn't require extra resistors to run the lights. <br /> <br />
