What you start with is determined by your needs now, your needs in the near future if you are going to build something larger, your budget, and how deeply into dcc you want to get. But to cut to the chase, the two best entry level systems right now are 1) the Atlas Commander 2) the Digitrax Zephyr. And of the two, the Zephyr is better. A good site to learn about dcc for beginners is the dcc site at the Atlas forum, or some of the other modelling forums, like www.trainboard.com If you go to a dcc site and stick with it a while you will get a feel for dcc; the information you are after is the kinds of questions newer people to dcc ask. I know Kalmbach has a new book out, but I can't recommend it because I haven't seen it - it hasn't reached the great white north in Vancouver, bc, Canada yet. However, even though I haven't seen it, I suspect it will get you conceptually into dcc. www.atlasrr.com will get you to the Atlas site, then hit forums. You will have to join, its free.
