A recent string on DCC control equipment had a lot of folks reasonably emotional – and here I thought it was all a game! I have a '40 era “U” shaped HO layout. The mainline track is approx 120’ with a total of 25 turnouts and their accompanying signals. It is an uncluttered layout with not more than 3 trains running at any one time during an operating session. I’m now in the process of replacing the old system with DCC. The two products I’m interested in, NCE http://www.ncedcc.com/ and Easy DCC http://www.cvpusa.com/, has captured only about 13% of the market, but I feel that both these systems are under-appreciated. I would have loved to ask Andy Sperandeo why he chose NCE for his layout, but a guy in his position would not tell a stranger the true reason behind his choice of brand. For the same reason I cannot approach Doug Robb of the Eastern Allegheny (http://www.geocities.com/dougsrr1/CTC.html ) and ask him why he went with Easy DCC. The CVP stuff looks lean and technically sound but I am just too much of an amateur to appreciate their terse, one-liner techno approach. The open and friendly way in which the guys at Tony’s Train Exchange interact with the ordinary guy has just about convinced me to go the NCE way – which I would never have paid any mind until Ken Varall told me about the product. Märklin and Roco users and clubs dominate my neck of the woods, so ... guys, I hope there are enough of you with NCE/Easy experience to point me in the right direction.
