Some older engines might be a pain. I forget the name of the company, but you can take out your old frame, send it to them with something like $10 and they send you a milled one back. I'm in N and have used DCC for about 4 years now. Overall you will be very happy with it. If you can afford it, when buying your system, buy a second throttle (cab) at the same time. As soon as you get home, and have the dcc unit up and running, you'll want some one else to run with you - hence the second throttle. Digitrax is the largest player in North American and Lenz is the largest player in Europe. In my area, Digitrax has been around for 8 or 9 years, and Lenz is just beginning to make an entry beyound the occassional unit sold. You don't say how large your layout is or how many operators run it (mine will only handle a maximum of three operators, hence my interest in computer running of trains, while we operators do our thing). The Digitrax Zephyr is the best entry level system out there, period. The Super Chief is their top end model. I bought the Chief (but not Super) about 4 years ago. I personally like using the same system that others around me are using in Vancouver, BC. If and when I run into a problem, I have some one I can talk to directly and do a show and tell. I do not recommend you be the only guy in your town with a different system to all the rest or you'll hear something like this: "Well on my system if I had the problem, I'd do this and that, but I don't know what to tell you on your system."
