DCC
Posted by 1train on Sunday, May 11, 2003 1:07 PM
I have been "RailRoading" for a couple of years (HO scale) What is the BEST way to get started in DCC. I have a common 4 X 8 Layout with Atlas Code 83 Track and a Freight yard theme.
Thanks,
Tom

Your request is almost like posting a request on which religion to join - lots of opinion. Right now, the two best entry level systems are Atlas and the Digitrax Zephyr. Atlas is really Lenz, so you can expand upwards if you go with Atlas.

Of the two, the Digitrax Zephyr is considered the better entry level dcc system as it opens an empire to you if you need one further down the road.

Tom;

See the June issue of Model Railroader. Go with Altas or Digitrax Zephyr.
