jdolan, <br />When my son and I got our system, we had a 2 by 8 N scale layout that could handle about three engines (usually with small layouts its the number of operators - space - that is more limiting). For a couple of years we had only two throttles to run our two engines, we never ran a third one. <br /> <br />Now, many years latter, I am finishing off a "larger" N scale layout in a 9 by 13 foot room, double decked with lots of staging. Maximum number of operators will be four, but with double consists, up to 8 engines running. Signalling - could very well be. Computer running of engines in and out of staging, could be. Wireless radio running, I'll be adding that in January. <br /> <br /> <br />My point? Well, I bought the Digitrax Chief for the funny little N scale layout. When I buy the latest 400 throttle that will be radio controlled for the Chief, I will instantly have the Super Chief unit. Was it a waste of money that I bought the Chief for my 2 by 8 N scale layout over six years ago - you figure it out? <br /> <br />Will it be a waste of money if you buy a good unit that has a lot of stretch in it that will go beyound 2009? You figure it out.
