First, thanks to everyone on this super site! Anything you want to know is here, thanks to all you experts. You're great! My question: I have a small N scale RR, 3 by 6 feet, basically two reverse loops with a passing track between them, for two trains. It's DC now, with Atlas electrical stuff (I know that's really bad and old fashioned), with common rail wiring...well...you probably know all about that stuff used since the 1950's. It's hard to learn how to 'play the piano' with all those switches, flipping them as the trains move in a small area! <br />If I go DCC with such a small layout, which beginner DCC system would be easiest for a guy who hates wiring? Will it be hard to rewire the DC layout? Are DCC equipped locos easy to find in N scale? Is it hard to wire reverse loops? I'm hearing words like Atlas, Digitrax, Lenz. I don't know which is best, and I'm not good at technical stuff. Any help from users? I'm also low budget, like so many of us. If you can't answer all this, an answer to any of it would be great!
