Stand back y'all here is my two cents.. <br /> <br />First off. I would choose the Digitraz Zephyer. Why? It has full communication with a QSI engine such as a BLI engine. And you can still hold 100+ addresses in it. The locos will have a need for DCC modules in them unless it was a BLI unit etc.. that gets expensive... more expensive still if you add sound. <br /> <br />Everytime you need to address a engine, it has to go on the test track away from the layout. This is more true if you have switches that are also controlled with the DCC. You will find that the Bachmann's system is good for those with a few engines and a 4x8 or something similar. <br /> <br />Eventually they will realize that more advanced systems may be needed... similar to computers being stronger and faster. <br /> <br />A friend of mine has been quite successful with his DCC and from that experience and learning I have developed what I would want to be able to do in the future. While it is admirable that bachmann and others may want "starter systems" for DCC eventually Digitrax is the way to go. At least for me. <br /> <br />My two cents.
