I now show my ignorance of things electrical. Many years ago MR carried an article about building the CTC-16, followed shortly by the upgraded version, the CTC-16e. These were the articles that gave impetus to the DCC controls of today. The reason I hold forth is because I did build the CTC-16e and still use it to control the locomotives on my layout. It works extremely well and has been virtually trouble free. I am limited to 32 locomotives operating at one time, but this is not a shortcoming on my layout. I did install a thing called the Modeltronics sound system. This is chuffing only, triggered by rotation of the drivers, with no other functions available. With all this preamble, I now ask my question. Among the electronically literate out there, I ask if it is at all possible to redo my system to use modern controllers and high zoot receivers so I can have the full array of sounds that are currently available? If the answer is no, I can live with it. If the answer might be yes, be advised I would prefer being able to make the conversion myself. I do take scratch building to an illogical extreme. Thanx for even considering my question. You need not tell me I am not in possession of a full deck, that fact is a given. <br /> <br />Tom <br />
