Hi! I am another newcomer to model railroading. (Yes, another one of THOSE ;-) So far, I have a preliminary layout and four locos, three of which are the "older" Athearn (only a light bulb and metal strips on top of the motor, no "light board"). I would like to get a DCC system - it seems a lot better to me than a lot of block wiring! So far, it looks like I could afford either the Atlas Commander, the MRC command 2000, or the Digitrax Genesis. The problem is trying to decide which (if any) of these systems would work well with my locos. I plan to only have 3-4 running at any given time. The info I've seen so far on the 'net (to include the Atlas and MRC instruction manuals) is not much help - the information would challage a Ph.D., unless that Ph.D. was in electronic engineering ! (Who writes these things, and why do they keep their jobs ???) Anyhoo, I would appreciate any advice as to which DCC system might work best with my fleet. Thanks in advance ! Happy Railroading !!! - George
