I switched to DCC about the time it first started. I started with a Digitrax Big Boy set (no longer offered). I would also recommend going with a system that is popular in your area. It is nice to have others to help if you get into something that your not sure of. Over the last year I have converted my locomotives with Soundtraxx sound decoders. The results are unbelevable. I have a small layout (20' X 10') and run with about eight locomotives, although i have many more, so sound decoders were not to painful. I sometimes run my layout with one or two other friends and DCC has made this so much more fun. Even if I were the only one to operate my layout I would still go DCC so I can get the sound option. I have a friend that has a one man switching operation. He has one sound diesel and a Digitrax chief system and he says it was worth it.
