Spacemouse, <br />You mentioned cowboy action shooting in one of your earlier replies. Is that another hobby of yours? One of my friends at work as well as myself are into both CAS and Model Railroading. I was just wondering if we are not alone in this? Since cowboy action shooting has a lot to do with dressing up to play cowboy, why not do something similar on the railroad with the movie town as was suggested. I am beginning to like the idea myself, although I am pretty well set for the "transition" era, at least equipment wise. As for DCC, there are several "starter sets" that are relatively inexpensive (i.e. <$200). The one I recently ordered was the MRC Prodigy Advance which I picked up for about $180. I liked the features offered for the price, and decided that on any home layout I will build in the next 10 to 15 years, wireless would not be required (it's not available on the system I ordered). As I mentioned in another reply to another of your posts, you can start with the Bachmann system for under $100, but the features are very limited. When you're ready to get DCC for your home layout, don't forget to start asking around about the opinions of those on this board if you can't find the right info anywhere else. <br /> <br />-Joe
