Newbie asks: to DCC or not to DCC?

Do you already have all your old DC stuff to rebuild your layout? If you were happy doing what you were doing 15 years ago, then you are all ready and set to go. <br /> <br />Or, are you buying new equipment? If so, I would go with DCC for sure. An entry level DCC system from the popular manufacturers is not really expensive. And you spend what you want on engines. <br /> <br />You may find that DCC sound will addict you. It did to me. I have only a small layout .... I am up close and personal with my engines as they work (or idle). I couldn't even imagine not having sound. I would rather have one quality engine with sound, than a handful of non sound units. <br /> <br />But take my advice with a grain of salt ....... I've never had a completed layout without DCC and sound ..... its really all I know. <br /> <br />Greg <br />
