With the advancement of DCC, changes happen. The new Bachmann system is very inexpensive, and I think will make a good entry level system. $78 gets you the system with a decoder equipped loco. That is sooooooo inexpensive, I can't imagine NOT trying DCC. Fot that price, if you aren't happy, you aren't out much at all. <br /> Like a lot of others, I have many other priorities, so I don't have the unlimited model rr budget. My computer is a Pentium III 750, and I have a 36" regular, plain, ordinary? non-hi-def tv. These both work well, do their jobs, and are fine for ME. I don't need to impress someone else. The rewards of the high dollar, high tech, latest and greatest aren't worth the cost, to me. For example, hi def tv costs a fortune to buy, programming is limited, and programming costs more than regular tv. I don't see much of a difference in picture quality (at least not enough to justify the extreme expense) to warrant a change, for ME. DCC, on the other hand, is becoming more and more economical to buy. I am in the process of building my first large layout, so I will try DCC. <br />The only thing I can say to others is, do what makes YOU happy. Don't worry about what others think. You are in the hobby for you, not for everyone else. <br />Tim
