change all your coupler, then start buying decoders for each loco, when you have enough decoders for half to three-quarters of your fleet, then start saving up and buy a good quality DCC system. This will require derailing any purchases except couplers and decoders until you get the DCC system, then you xcan start expanding the fleet and trackage again. believe me the short term will require alot of self control (want that brand new BLI they just released? best not, else you'll set yourself 6 months behind schedule), but the end will justify the delays in purchases. Think of it this way, a railroad wants to add 500 miles to it's line but only has marginal profits. so they start buying the small items they'll need (switches, rails, ties, signal's, ect), when they've built up those they the start saving to pay the labor to lay them and install the signalling system. Finally when they've got the new rails down, they save up to add an engine to work the new line, as well as possibly bying new cars to work that line. in the end (could be a year or more down the road), they may triple their operating profits by this one line addition. thus the end result, even after such a long wait, results in bigger profits and more enthusiaum from the stock holders. So pace yourself, plot a plan of action, curb your urges and you'll get everything you want and be a better person for it. Jay
