Mike, in Vancouver, British Columbia all the clubs use Digitrax. You need to keep in mind that over time your club's needs/wants are going to change. So you want to be thinking about the next year, but also the next 20 years. All you need is one bushy tailed electronics type person and eventually your club will be running signals, sound, etc. Also a computer might bring trains out from staging for you, or run a passenger train around the layout will other humans work the freights. You might have long distance dispatching, where the person dispatching might very well live here in Vancouver BC, or dispatch from Alaska. If your club is serious take advantage of the 30% discount, and everyone can buy some of their own equipment along with it. Digitrax is American and is the largest DCC company in North America. Lenz is the largest in Europe. Some will have heard that Digitrax is difficult to use. To a certain extent, this was more true a few years ago. Digitrax listened to us whiners and came out with easier to use cabs in which commands aren't as cryptic as they were with early cabs (like the one I own).
