[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by davekelly But Ed, what happens if you like 'em all? [/quote] That is a problem. I have my hard headed opinions about DCC systems, but I have the "like 'em all" problem in other areas. I like first generation diesels, GP9s, GP7s, comparable SDs, F3s, F7s, etc. I also like jumbo covered hoppers and grain elevators. In the first generation era most grain was loaded in 40 foot boxcars with grain doors added. I also like 40 foot boxcars, but get lonesome for those covered hoppers in a short time. I guess I could reletter all the locomotives for some fictional shortline (that bought 'em used) from the class 1s, but.....well, you get the idea. Now for DCC systems I have CVPs EasyDCC and love it. I have not been impressed with Digitrax on friends' layouts, but they like it so it's OK. I haven't seen NCE and don't know anyone who has any of the MRC or Bachman systems so have no first hand knowledge there. I have been VERY impressed with CTC-80 on some local layouts. It is NOT DCC, however. It is one of the older analog systems. One of the better known local layouts using CTC-80 recently switched to EasyDCC. One vociferous Digitrax operator is switching to EasyDCC! I agree wholeheartedly! Each system has its admirers and detractors. It's what you like for your layout that is important. But to answer your question, I'd buy the same thing all over again. Cheers, Ed
