I'm still DC. I'm into steam. Like many, I have more locomotives than I really need (but I love every one of them), cycle them onto the layout in groups. Most of my "stable" was assembled before DCC (a) worked out all the technical kinks and (b) became somewhat affordable. The task of converting them to DCC is my main obstacle (and paying someone to do it for me is financially out of the question). <br /> <br />I planned my layout with DC operation in mind. Operating three trains at a time is only just challenging enough to remain interesting; due to the design and the home-made electro-mechanical aids, no frantic swtiching of cabs or throwing of power-feed toggles. <br /> <br />If I were starting out now - or even five or six years ago - DCC would be a no-brainer. Converting each locomotive as one purchases it, is a far different proposition than converting 50+ existing ones.
