<p>NKato - I owe you an apology for not taking your post serious enough. We had a couple of heated discussions about the future of DCC vs. bluetooth & dead rail and the like, it was my mistake to sort your post into that category.</p> <p>A lot of that confusion could have been avoided if you had addressed your issues in a different manner, though.</p> <p>Your layout seems to be pretty complicated and wiring it for DCC multi-engine operation is a heck of an effort, which does not come for free, either. Wiring it for DCC could be as simple as having two bus wires to which you join, either by soldering or by using suitcase connectors, a number of feeder wires.</p> <p>Good entry level DCC command station don´t cost much more than a decent powerpack - look for a Digitrax Zephyr Xtra or an NCE Powercab. The really cheap Bachmann E-Z Command will certainly not make you happy. In my country, I can buy a brandnew Roco Multimaus Set for less than $100. Lenz has also a nice DCC starter set, but I am not sure whether it´s being sold in the US.</p>
