<p>[quote]The simpler something is the better off I am... [/quote]</p><p> DCC is simpler than DC, once you get comfortable with it. My layout is 8 by 24, double track, with over 40 turnouts and crossovers,  and is just one giant block. No toggle switches. There are only five toggle switches on my entire board. Three turn off the power on the three coach tracks, so the lights in the passenger cars go out. The other two turn off power to the engine storage tracks. Most of my yard switches are manual, except the inbound, and the runaround, and the engine tracks. All mainline switches are powered, and use small push buttons from Radioshack. Simplicity.</p>
