Thanks Tom!  Its great to hear from someone who has personal experience with one of the systems I'm considering.  I did finish reading the PowerCab online manual... and it left me with a few questions.  Hopefully you won't mind answering some for me.1) At 2 amps, how many locos can you run?  and with how many accessory items?  I'm hoping to hear 4 locos.  Plans are for a least 1 frieght and 1 passenger, both will probably have 2 locos.2) Can the PowerCab control a DC loco or a DCC ready loco without a decoder installed?The documentation for the PowerCAb didn't show a complete diagram (or photo) of track/accessory connections. The Zepher has mulitple connection points: Track Power : Programming Track DCC signal only : and seperate power for turnouts, and other accessories.3) Does the PowerCab also have multiple power connections for these different uses?Thanks again Tom for your comments.  I do appreciate the education I'm getting here by reading this (and other topics) on the forums.Kent
