Been in the hobby for 48 years,DCC is what we dreamed about for decades.Who in the world would stick with DC is beyond me.Expensive?,sure,do you have to change everything overnight?,of course not! I still run feeders to every 3 sections of track off of buss lines,and jumpers across those joints on those three sections.So someone tell me what's the big problem converting old layouts.I've always overwired my layouts,like wearing a belt and suspenders! It gives you trouble free operation.This is a new and last layout for me, and as far as wiring goes, it is being done the same old way except for those few differences required by DCC.Let's see,I can go into or out of a reverse loop without a gang of electrical switches to throw,and in and out of the roundhouse with no switches,all locos can run in unison,steam and/or Diesel! If money is a problem,MRC,I think they're reasonable. Wait !,I think I'll toss out my DCC and go take my battery out of the old DeSoto,after all that's how they used to run model railroads! I'm just having some fun with you die hards,but really,this is what old timers really did dream about,in fact DCC exceeds our wildest dreams. Hey!, how come you guys have computers,telegraphs always worked well.Oh-oh,I'd better get otta here,I think I see torches and pitchforks coming over the horizon.Just have fun anyway you can,even if you do have to keep refilling those kerosene lamps.OK,OK,I'm going! <br /> <br /> <br />
