I wasn't quite sure how to title this but here goes. I'm wiring up my layout for DCC, because of the infered (sp?) cost from reading forums here and others. Last week I went to a train show. A kid had a modular layout there using Bachmann EZ DCC, Bachmann EZTrack, and the wiring that came with the Bachmann EZ-Track. He was running two locos, with no problems. He only had two wiring points to the layout. The layout was about Door sized in "N". Then you have people say you need 14 gauge feeders, and drops every 3 feet. Now that I'm looking at all the cost of wire, switches, Terminal strips, power packs, Going with a simple starter DCC setup would have made more sense. Just some thoughts no real life experience, other than I'm tired of running wires. Dave
