As Jay mentioned, the flickering may or may not continue with DCC, but the lights will always be at full intensity. The flickering is due to the sometimes intermittent contact between the rails and the pickups. So the better your track and pick-ups, the less flickering. Now you could call the flickering "protoypical" because every passanger train I have been on has some flickering or time when the lights are completely out [:)]. If you want flicker free, you'll have to install "on-board" power, like a battery pack. There have been a few good articles in MR on how to do this. Andrew
