QUOTE: Originally posted by rrinker It's kinda like how peopel are getting the idea that they NEED 500hp in their pickup truck even though the heaviest thing they ever haul around is a couple of sheets of plywood.

QUOTE: Originally posted by rrinker Exactly - if you never need to run more than 10 or 12 locos at the same time, it would be better to just buy a Super Empire Buiulder and add it tot eh Zephyr, keeping the Zephyr as the command station. Then you'd have 7.5 total amps of power, and a second throttle. If you already have the extra throttles, just as a DB150 booster, much cheaper than buying a Super Chief set. This is the beauty of Digitrax's system, you don;t need to throw out or sell off old equipment as you expand, it's all useable. --Randy

QUOTE: Originally posted by Javern I wasn't reflecting towards any particular post when I made my above comment. I would hope everyone would be open to new MRC products and discuss them pro/con and not just base MRC on past items that didn't meet your expectations.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Josh_A Im a DCC noob, but 1.6 A should be enough to run three N scale engines right? (A bachman 0-6-0, a LifeLike 2-8-8-2 Mallet, and most likely a miniTrix 4-6-2 Pacific). I have no plans to add more engines, those three are already probably overkill.
