[quote user="Darth Santa Fe"]This is actually a good option for DCC too, as you only need one decoder to drive the whole thing instead of having to MU 3 decoders.[/quote] But not nearly as versatile as 3 MUed decoders, plus you are stuck with a 3 unit set.   No idea as to the cost of the hobby town drive, but a motor decoder can be had for less than $25.  So for under $75 you can run 1, 2 or 3 units.  It kind of goes back to whats important to you.    If you want to run an A-A set for fun, you cant easily.  What happens if you wanted to run a ABBA set with hobbytown drive, will the asymetrical loading of the drive line become an issue? That having been said, I do have a yellow box dummy Gp7 or 9 laying around that sounds like a ideal candidate for a hobbytown drive.
