<br />I want to accompli***he following, and although I am an experienced <br />O Scale modeler I am at a loss when it comes to DCC <br /> <br /> * I want to convert to DCC wireless control, including sound, if possible. <br /> (I can live without wireless if it enhances the operation and sound <br /> appreciably, as long as it maintains walkaround operation) <br /> <br /> * Requirements are: Reliability, Simple to Operate and Set-Up, Realistic <br /> Sound, Excellent Slow Speed Control (knob preffered over buttons), <br /> and An Understandable Instruction Booklet or an the name of an <br /> Excellent Installer who would retrurn completed models in a <br /> reasonable time frame. <br /> <br /> * I would like to say cost isn't important, but it is. (I would either defer sound <br /> instsllation, or convert a only portion of my locos to DCC initially, if <br /> necessary, to to get the qualities I am looking for) <br /> <br /> * I will be building an "L" shaped layout, with the maximum dimensions <br /> of 30' x 20' in O Scale 2-Rail. <br /> <br /> * Rooster includes: 8 Atlas RS-1's, 3 Atlas SW-8's, and 11 Brass <br /> steamers. (the largest being 4-USRA's Light 2-8-2's, I will also likely <br /> get a Weaver 2-8-0) (Note the Atlas locos have DCC <font color="black"></font id="black"><font size="1"></font id="size1"><font size="4"></font id="size4">decoders included) <br /> <br /> * I will usually be the only operator, but would like to be able to <br /> accommodate up to 2 additional operators on occaision. <br /> <br />Well thats it. I would really appreciate any suggestaions that would help me clear the cobwebs and get started on a top quality DCC control/sound system. <br /> <br />Regards and thanks <br />OScaleOne <br /> <br />
