I am an N scale model railroader and I have decided to not make the switch to DCC. Most of my engines are pre-DCC and not DCC ready. There isn't much room in an N-Scale engine to put anything without cutting out some of the innards. Also model railroading is nostalgic. I grew up in the seventies and I remember the power pack to have was the MRC Golden 501. I found one (501N) a few years ago in new condition and bought it instantly. Also if I have a problem, I can track it down and figure it out. When my friend bought a locomotive with a decoder and asked me to fix it, I told him to return it. I have rebuilt trucks with new gears, changed brushes etc. but DCC I don't know about. Now, heaven forbid, if my house burned down and I lost all of my stuff, I'd start over with DCC. Also, I like the KISS principle. Anyone else decide to stay with the old technology?
