All of my N-Scale is within 3 years of being new, but I have no need or desire to go DCC. The only shortcoming I have with my present layout is I don't have enough tracks to park more engines than 2. This is OK with me as the rest can sit in my display case until I want to use them. And since 99% of the time I'm the only one operating the layout, I feel there is no need for DCC. I have operated on several layouts with DCC and have really enjoyed myself. These layouts however are very large with several operators running several trains at one time. (V&O, AGE, L&N Henderson Sub.) If I were to start over in H-O scale I would probably go with DCC and purchase most of my new engines with decoders already installed. But I would have to be building a large enough layout for more than 1 operator. The last big layout I had was built with 2 throttles (GML) and had double-pole, double-throw toggle switches that would control the few blocks I had and this worked great. I too subscribe to the "KISS Principle." But there is no way in heck I'm going back and try to mount decoders in my N-Scale engines!!!!! So I will be sticking with DC cab control for a long time. I do get a chuckle when I read about all the problems people are having with their DCC! gtr
