DCC is too expensive an investment to "cheapen" it is compariable to buying a toy train pack that will fail in 6 months. Consider the lines above post, those are the better "Quality" brands. There is also the DCC decoders and sound units. Prices for each locomotive can easily double. However to hear the steam engine quietly pumping air, and blowing saftey while sitting still is very motivating to the engineer. Also some engines are vry "touchy" and either stop and full speed and nothing in between. A good DCC throttle that can program these beasts to tame down into a controllable speed range is invaluable. I have used a resistor for 3 decades, however am seriously considering Zypher for my first DCC. I will probably need to put off my next big engine to get this unit. It is going to be fun to have a "Strong" unit that will deliver all you want and more. Good Luck let us know how it goes. Lee
