To all of you, thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my post. Since I am a product of the '60's, the DCC concept and its accompanying terminology is all new to me. I don't really understand how the DCC components interact with one another. With the old DC system, I had two power packs to run to train lines. I had 3 or 4 Atlas controllers to operate the tracks. I had electric turnouts(I always called them switch tracks!) which were controlled by push button boxes on my control panel. Streetlights and accessories were simply powered by old power packs. With all of that in mind, what piece of DCC equipment replaces each of the pieces of equipment that I've just described? P.S. As with all hobbies, there are different levels of expertise, interest and commitment. For me, my passion is music: I have a custom built recording studio for which I spare no expense for the finest gear. Getting back into model railroading is something I want to do with my kids. While I want good quality components, and I want room to grow, I won't need top of the line, esoteric components as one might find in a model railroad club. I want quality, simplicity and ease of use. Thanks again for your time. Dan.
