We're all newbies at heart !
That's what keeps us young, even if some of us are half a century and counting.

OK guys, Im brand new. I just recently purchased a Bachmann set off of ebay and now as I pour thru websites and books I learn about DCC, yes that is how new I am, I thought you just plugged in the box and set it to go. Now I realize that DCC is a MUST and am interested in purchasing and setting up a DCC system, What I want does not have to be top of the line I want something relatively inexpensive that still has plenty of functionality. Any ideas you guys have sure would help. Thanks.
