I have a Prodigy system myself. I also have a Prodigy 8 amp booster. I run LGB engines, these are big "G" scale engines. The system works as advertised. I can run one analog dc engine (I currently run a TWO-MOTOR engine this way) on the tracks with decoder-equipped other locos. Yes, there is buzzing but I can turn off a block of track to spare the motors when not in use (your old block wiring does come in handy even with dcc!!). The system is just to get me wet until I save for a Digitrax Empire Builder, but I am happy with it because I got it cheap!!~ Note: For HO locos, you can run up to 32 engines with the addition of the Power Station booster. And this booster ($150 street), compared with other systems, is really quite cost-effective (at least with current prices). The Prodigy now includes a switch controller handheld,too, for turnout control. You must buy the turnout decoders of course. But realistically for a club I would go with Digitrax or NCE; they have more throttle options, and a GREAT THROTTLE matters when you buy the club dcc!! The only prob I have is the MRC decoder AD321---its more noisy than the "DC" engine on the tracks!!!
