I was in the same position as you about 4 years ago and purchased a pewercab from NCE. That decision worked out great ,everything I needed to run was in the box, other than a dcc equipped engine. The choice was never regreted and the support from NCE is is as good or better than I have received from any mfg. You also can add other options (upgrade) as you feel the need. Wishing you a great experience with the product and the hobby.

You will need decoders for your engines.
Depending upon the size of your railroad you may wish to purchase an additional UTP panel so that your 06 cab can be located at a location remote from where your PowerCab plugs in so that the additional operator isn't standing on the first operator's toes.
A Power Cab is a complete system. You won't need the Cab06 unless a 2nd person will operate a 2nd locomotive. The Power Cab can also swap between 2 locomotives, allowing you to operate 2 locomotives at the same time.

Hi this is Rookie Railroader. I was planning on buying a NCE Power Cab Starter Set with 110/240V US Power Supply and a Cab06 Engineer Cab with LED Display. Is there anything else I need to start running trains with DCC? Do I need to get some extra equipment for the Engineer Cab? Your answers would be greatly appreciated.
