I just wanted to agree with some of the posts above that mention to buy decoders that allow 128 steps and 4 digit addresses. They will work with both the modest control units and will be ready for 'full function' in the event you upgrade to a more capable front end. Mike and I choose a Lenz system and so far have used Lenz decoders, which we find work just fine. Digitraxx deciders are very popular in our geographic area and work very well for our friends who use them. The very slightly higher cost of the decoders will easily pay forthemselves in NOT having to replace them when you upgrade. 128 step decoders will also allow to run your lococ at most any location with great performance. Some of the latest decoders DO have integrated sound chips, buts thats kinda of a luxury. If you have the room, specialized sound cars can be added anytime in the future.Jennifer
