Got my NCE power pro on Monday , ran a buss around the whole layout , hook up my first drop wires and ran my very first DCC loco up and down the track. Nice to finally run one. Now to convert all those locos I have that aren't DCC.

Your going to LOVE your Power Pro!!  I have one and it is Sooo... easy to use.  We have Digitrax at the club and it is a real pain for me.  Too much crap to remember.  Not like NCE where you just read the screen and make the selections.

BEWARE!

WARNING!

DCC CAN cause giddyness and can be addicting!

I have a small 3.5 x 5 foot ho layout with the basic Bachmann EZ Command. I love being able to control more trains on it at once, at different speeds, even running one in reverse while one runs forward on the other track! And without flipping switches and blocks and etc etc etc!

 OH MY!

Congratulations. You've stepped into a new world where DC limitations are a thing of the past. No more block switches, no more having to remember where blocks begin and end and no more having to turn the power up to get the loco light to come on. Enjoy it.

Yep, Jeffrey , after all this time , now I see what it's all about. I wish all my decoders would have come in, Tony has them all on back order, any way I'm doing some re-design on the layout so I've been ripping track up , gotta get rid of all those insulators on all the those DC blocks. I may still run some divisions, not sure yet, I can tell it's gonna be fun !

I was lazy. I left all my blocks intact. I'm glad I did. I can park locos on the spurs and turn off the power to those sections. That way I don't have to worry about them draining power away from the others.

I bought my power pro about three years ago it has lived in the wardrobe gone through a house move and  finally i got it hooked up to track,it is so easy to use i couldnt believe  my luck,final  plans for my american intermodal layout approx 13ft X 3ft at  least in N scale will  give it plenty to do,a hought crossed my mind to take back my other system bought recently to the store and put the difference to for another power pro, the  other unit is to be used  for my L shaped British layout on the other side of the room.
