90% of what i like about model railroading is the making of the layout with all the scenery etc.running trains is secondary.i have an MRC Tech2 Railmaster 2400 controller that runs just fine for my purposes which may include running 1 or 2 trains.I bought a specific engine (P2K Limited Edition SW 9)to act as a shunter but it only came with factory installed DCC and sound which the salesman said would run fine as a DC unit minus the DCC parameters and i would also not have control over the sounds,well when i tried it the thing wouldnt run 2ft without cutting out or shutting down so i returned the product,Now i have just been given another unit with DCC and it runs about the same but i dont have the option of returning it.Up here in Canada it would cost me around $600 to go the DCC route which just doesnt make any financial sense for my purposes.Its not that i'm anti DCC its just not what i want at the moment..Thanks for the info.
