In defense of the Zephyr on a 4x8 comment, I personally know of at least three railroads in my area that uses them, one with a radio panel running a medium sized pike of good quality.I personally have the Super Chief, being the sort that is hard-headed I have way too much power (Digitrax 2012 power supply) and bought the system at a good discount. For me, to upgrade to radio is a small expense easily covered any time in the future.Yes I spent too much money, but rather I went all the way full bore watching the pyro to the summit instead of getting caught with a wimpy el-cheap peice of crap and not enough capability to do anything.Keep in mind, DCC is a way of communicating to various devices on a network. You can always start small and sell it to seed upgrades and better systems in the future once you have a good idea of where you are.By the way I still have the Analog Tech 4 220 power pack in the corner, I will probably die with analog in one hand and a dcc manual in the other but that is me.I urge you to start small like the NCE or the Zephyr. Dont go all out like I did, you might not like the results.I also strongly urge you to get ahold of a throttle in your hands. You are the one who is going to run trains for an hour or two or three. If you are happy with the twiddling then you know your hands will be fine.
