Thanks for the information. Size and fitting issues were of great concern, but htese last couple of messages have all but eliminated the problem. You talk about 13 operators (drivers/engineers). How many locomotives did each control? Sounds like your layouts are steam related, but even they often had multiple locomotive train heads. Since no two locomotives will run at exactly the same speed at the same voltage (even if they are "identical"), it would be necessary to have independent control over each locomotive so that one doesn't 'push' or 'pull'. This becomes a real issue when modeling modern 3-5 locomotive diesel trains. Can the Digitrax handle that many. Our club would like to have 10+ operators at once with multiple locomitive trains, if possible. On my home layout, 4-6 operators would probably be plenty. What kind of cost are we looking at (rough estimate for system and per decoder).? I'm following this forum closely to help me decide which system to buy. It appears that Digitrax is #1 and Atlas around #2. What is the problem caused to DCC systems with Atlas and Shinanora switches? Can they be corrected or 'safe guarded against', without their total removal from the layout? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Mike
