To tntyz: In my opinion, I would have to know how far you are ging with model railroading. Because of whatever intentions you have, the DCC system should fit it, or else you will find ourself buying another one and larger system later on. Provided the economical systems, such as Bachmann's produces, at least 5 amps, I would stay away from it. Someday, you might want a couple of Broadway Limited locos to run at the same time, along with a passenger train that has ten lights in five coaches, or whatever configuration that demands more than 5 amps. The Empire Builder (Digitrax) gives you only 5 amps, where was their top line, The Chief, gives out 8 amps. However, these are not economically classified, but they deliver the wholip you may need someday. I <br />do the "saving thing," and select a DCC system that you can grow to, instead of a DCC system that you may have to make IT grow. Many systems are not designed for "add-on" boosters, so to get larger, you have to buy the parger DCC system. I hope I've helped you in some meager way, because I'm still learning and need all the help I can get.
