[quote]QUOTE: I'm surprised that so many people don't understand the benefits of DCC. Simplified wiring on the layout, simplified controls. SLIGHTLY more complicated engine work. Sounds like a win-win. Even SMALL layouts with fiddle yards (2x10) can benefit <br /> <br />Manufacturers will find a way to add costs in and with the cost of a "ready to run" loco ever increasing, getting a value add, like a DCC plug, is a good thing[/quote] <br /> <br />Modeling in the freelance world that i do, and modeling everything differently...its hard pressed for me to just buy an off the shelf locomotive...i use a lot of Kaslo Shops Resin kits (BTW these are not like the old novatech, they are just as great and detailed as a P2K). I modify almost every locomotive i buy...so the added cost of replacing a dash9 cab with the Canadian 4 window cab...or building an entire resin SD60F and trying to find a decent chassis for it...its hard sometimes with the modifications to install a decoder...and even then...i dont want to use DCC im happy with DC. I have read all about DCC and i think its a great thing...MRR in the 21st century....its just not my thing...and with all the brass i have...its DEFINATELY not my thing LOL
