The price has got to come down for me to buy in.  Right now I'm spending $30-40 on a used loco and maybe $15 on a decoder.  I know this is the future, but I'll wait until it gets better and cheaper.

 

 

 But what did you pay for your system?

  

I paid $120 for a DCC-equipped GP40, command station, lokmaus2, 4 cars, and a circle of 15" radius track, brand new.

We will now start to see the confusion/misinformation about the features of the BlueRail Trains OEM  board with Bluetooth  factory installed in Bachmann locomotives using E-Z APP and the aftermarket boards being sold by BlueRail Trains.

see bluerailtrains.com

what do they mean by standard or DCC?   By standard do they mean providing power by maintaining a full DC track voltage?

 

Right in the FAQ page.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
