I'm getting back into modeling after about a 15 year hiatus, and DCC is a mystery to me. I'm planning a medium size layout with single track main and two small yards. I plan on mostly operating by myself, with one train on the main while one switches, or occasionally a local and a passenger train on the main. Occasionally I might have others join me for operation. Given those plans, is DCC for me? Or should I go with good old fashioned block wiring. I'm a little nervous about getting into the expense of DCC, but the flexibility is appealing. Suggestions?
