I'm not an old timer, I'm a newbie who does not even have a layout yet, but I'm almost 100% certain to go with DCC. It seems to me that many "old timers" posting here have a built in bias against things 'different from how it's always been done". While the idea of converting what you already have may not make sense for any number of reasons, to deride others for taking at look at new technology strikes me as a bit arrogant. That being said, I'm concerned that many of these same old timers with a bias for DC (or is it against DCC?) are proprietors of many of the LHS specializing in trains. While I got a little flamed for earlier asking about on-line hobby shops, some of the comments were to the effect "find a local hobby shop where you can get your questions answered". Well so far, the two closest shops to me are both run by very nice, very helpful guys who love model railroading and who are DC people; one doesn't even carry DCC, the other one, only one kind, neither runs it or wants to. While I understand their views of what works for them and how they've built a big setup based on DC, it seems to me that almost every new person to his hobby should at least consider DCC. I read another thread earlier about the decline of MRR and the lack of "younger" people in the hobby, it seems to me the future of MRR is around things like DCC. Oh well just one persons uninformed opinion, for the price you paid for it, you got your money's worth :-)
