You won't need to isolate right off the bat, if your latyout is small. but you will have to do some common blocking for returning loops and certain crossovers, luckily there's DCC modules out there to handle these without using toggle switches. As for a DCC system, I just got the NCE powerhouse Pro, and I love it. the throttle is easy to use, the entire thing is simplistic in nature. I tried the digitrax out and it was horrid, the Lenz was good. I didn't try a zimo out, since no one had one here. Until you get a handle on decoders and how to install them, i suggest you talk to Tony at Tony's Train Exchange (http://www.ttx-dcc.com/). Call him and talk to him about all your questions and such, he's very friendly and won't badger you into buying somehting you don't want. and if you really want something, there's a good chance he has it. Heck yuo can even send him your loco's and he'll install the decoders for you. Jay
