<p>I don´t think there is any secure data available that would answer the OP´s question sufficiently. The only statement seeming to be secure is that the vast majority of HO scale and N scale model railroaders either use DCC or DC, all other systems like DCS, 3-rail AC , Dead Rail and steam being "condemned" to a niche role. Yes, there are HO scale live steam locos... I have yet to see a live Diesel loco, though.</p> <p>European manufacturers have long responded to this, marketing their locos either as DCC ready (meaning equipped with a standardized socket to plug in a decoder) or DCC equipped (with or w/o sound).</p> <p>Only Marklin continues to insist on its proprietary mfx system, based on the old Motorola format.</p> <p>Anyway, what´s the value in knowing the share of DCC users?</p>
