[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by jecorbett</i> <br /><br />I think DCC is probably still in the minority but I suspect that will change in the not too distant future. It's like any new technology. It takes a while for the public to warm up to but eventually, almost everyone comes around to it. I suspect DCC will someday be almost universal. The few remaining DC holdouts will have to remove decoders when they buy a new locomotive because decoders will be standard equipment. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I think you'll simply see what's already happening at the higher end - locos with DCC included that will run on DC, just without all the functions. I just think that in a few years, your average Bachmann loco will come that way too... <br /> <br />DCC is probably much like DVD. It will eventually become the 'standard' but it will be many, many years before all the folks who have 'perfectly good' VCR's with which they're 'perfectly happy' are gone...
