Converting to DCC?

I'd suggest taking a real hard look at the NCE PowerCab. It's a great starter, is a self-contained hand-held cab, fully functional, and easily expandable.<br><br>Here's a link to a review and discussion:<br><br>[url]http://www.trains.com/TRC/CS/forums/859484/ShowPost.aspx[/url]<br><br>I don't have it -- I bought the NCE PowerHouse Pro system a few years ago, before the PowerCab came out. Apparently they work exactly the same -- in fact, the PowerCab can be used as a "normal" cab on the bigger system just by plugging it in.<br><br>There are many posts on the General Discussion section about how to choose a DCC system. Some is just personal preference (which just feels natural), but other factors are involved, too, like how many trains you want to run at a time, what features are important to you or not, expandability, etc. <br><br>For even-handed advice, you might want to give Tony's Trains a call. They handle just about everything DCC, and will help you figure out what's best for you, regardless of their markup or even whether you buy it from them! And they have a money-back guarantee on everything they sell.<br><br>They're at: [url]http://tonystrains.com/[/url]<br>
