Mark...I am trying to make the same decision. I already have a NCE dcc system for my HO equipment that I could use on the G gauge that I am building. However a decoder is 50 bucks and if you want sound that's another 150. Not sure I want to add 200 dollars to a 180 dollar RS-3. Also if you want to run your engine on some ones elses layout it needs to be compatible. I you want sound on a DC layout then you need a battery for just the sound unit. If you run battery power for the loco then normally you need a box car to carry the power and then some RF type of control and the antenna needed on the engine can be a pain. I am sure I havent cleared up a thing but you can call me if you want. Iam located in Tallahassee...850 893 4138...Sal
