I do not have DCC, I built the CTC16e system from a series of artcles in MR many years ago. I still use this system and it works flawlessly. I do have individual locomotive control, but had to add Modeltronics sound to the locomotives to get the desired exhaust chuff. My system is the forerunner of todays DCC, but is in no way compatible with the newer systems. To answer a thread in this post, I do believe that todays high zoot electronic controls (i.e., DCC) will be tomorrows CTC16e. Even though my system is from another century, it has me completely sold on individual locomotive control. I could purchase and install one of the current DCC offerings, but elect to wait and observe just how quickly model railroad electronics evolve over the next year or so. My imagination will have to make the brakes squeal, make the compressor pump, ring the bell and blow the whistle. Looks like planned obsolescence has made a quantum leap into model railroad control systems. <br /> <br />Tom
