Joe, First let me say thank you for the great job you've done on this and your other DCC clinic. Now with that said can I make a request? I'd like to know the minimum $ amount to get started with each system you review. For example I've been looking at Digitrax Zephyr & Easy DCC. both have a stationary base station, and that's what I'm looking for to start. I can always add walk-around and leave the bases an the main yard. Anyway what I've found is; Zephyr, $160 includes all to get started.? (Tony's prices) Easy, $130 + power supply $44 And you're ready to go? (CVP prices, can't find anyone who discounts this brand) Add PC decoder prog. w/DecoderPro Zephyr, $60 for Loco Buffer 2 Easy, $0 Add a throttle, or booster, or reverser, and so on. and what boosters/throttles can be used with what systems. I know this is a lot of work but if others chime in I think it would be doable. It would be good to have it all in one thread here. and very helpful to newbies like me. Thanks Pat
