I've been studying the DCC market for quite a while trying to determine the best bang for the buck so to speak.I really liked the CVP option of using panels built into my control panel but was discouraged by some of the feedback i got. <br />Heres what i have learned.The 2 biggies are Digitrax and Lenz. <br />Atlas's product is made by Lenz.Lenz is the largest market share holder due to the european market.Digitrax holds an edge in North America.Support is easier to get for Digitrax on a broader base than any other unit.Digitrax is expandable and thier new entry level system the Zephyr comes complete with power supply and (heres the biggy) The option of using 2 regular powerpack s like MRC for additional throttles.Most of us have a powerpack or 2 and this saves a ton of money not having to buy additional throttles.The Zephyr is the way i am going as a way to get my feet wet in DCC.It retails for around 199.00 but the best price i have found is Litchfield Station at around 150.00.Dont forget to look into soundtrax decoders for realistic onboard sound equipped Loco's.It is awesome to say the least.A bit spendy but well worth the investment for realism.Its a DCC Jungle out there.Do yourself a Favor and get something that is easy to find help with.My Vote is for the Zephyr......Good Luck!!!
