The answer is if you are willing to spend the money is yes. DCC cuts out alot of wiring headaches and for each extra locomotive you run. is one less set of wires your not running for block control. Plus the decoders can do alot of neat things like make ditch lighes function and operational. as well as make your locmotive soound like the real thing if you want to go to the extreams of what DCC can offer. As for the Crossing gates. Yes they can. But I am not familiar eneugh with the neccisary detectors and modules that you would need for the system to tell you how to do it. I suggest that you post the crossing gate question at wiringfordcc.com. They cover how the properly wire a layout for dcc and have a question and answer forum that would be good for that type of question. James
