[quote user="pcarrell"] One thing that gets a lot of newer folks to the hobby is the subtle difference between DCC ready and DCC compatable.  Be careful when listening for these terms.  [/quote] Philip, Wadayer mean "newer folks"?  I have been playing around with trains for nigh on 50 years and it "gets me" too!  Of course we have not had DCC all that time. [;)] Just the other day I had to ring a supplier to ask him what he meant by DCC Ready.  It was what I thought it meant - as you defined in your post.  The thing that I was unaware of, and it just shows that I am a dummy, is that the place to plug in the decoder is covered by what looks like a mini PCB from the factory.  I was looking for a sort of a plug on the end of a cable, not just receptacles on a PCB. Now I know, but a bit of unecessary anxiety because the instructions were inadequate.  Am I the only dummy who did not know that the place to plug in a decoder would be hidden?[D)]
