i don't think switching from dc to dcc is a good idea. the wheels from a dc powered engine tend to spark a little and cause some oxidation on the rails,therefor dcc will not perform as well. i am personally using a older command control system called dynatrol. all of my friends use the same system. one of them can switch to straight dc when he wants to to test new engines before adding a new receiver to them. we found that the sparks from the wheels can cause the oxidation problem. it is not a serious problem, because we don't do it that often. i can swear by the centerline cars (ho) and goo gone
