[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jnichols Me thinks there is some confusion regarding DCC and DCS. Here are my thoughts... Besides, as I understand it, not only will the MTH locomotives operate on a DCC system (albiet with limitations due to the control architecture), but MTH fully intends on developing a DCC interface for use with the DCS system in order to control anyones DCC products. When that day arrives, the old Super Chief will quickly find it's way on the old auction block... [;)] [/quote] You may be correct that MTH will operate on a DCC system. Does anyone know for sure that they will actually do that>??? If any new comer to HO wants to be sucessful, they should at the least be compatible with the whole HO world and standards. I would not purchase a new HO locomotive that is captive to a new system and could not be run on a normal DCC or even DC layout. No one as every spelled out the differences of DCS compared to DCC and what if any the compatibilities are. The Live steam Mallard is a prefect example of a real interesting engine that requires its own track and sytem to run on. I would appreciate knowing the comparisons. Thanks
