I've been looking for the right DCC system for a medium size but compact layout for several weeks. I would like to run up to 4 throttles either by computer (JMRI probably) or manual control and do not need radio or IR initially (but may do with my next layout). The NCE cabs look functionally the best but I have 2 concerns about NCE. Firstly, from user comments on this forum the equipment seems not to be reliable. Secondly, can you advise on the most suitable system for computer control, primarily computer-driven throttle control (I intend to run the turnouts, signals, etc with a non-DCC system of some kind). LocoNet seems to be well-supported by both Digitrax and other manufacturers but the Digitrax throttles are not functionally very attractive... Can you provide information about the NCE equivalent to LocoNet in respect to its operation and flexibility of use by non-NCE devices. Thank you for sponsoring this very useful forum.
