When I first got in the hobby, I too had block control and transistorized throttles. Then I joined a club and got some experience with the old Mann-made control system. (anybody remember that???) Converted a few engines, then a few years later, the club went to DCC. I too was facinated with the freedom and realism DCC can give you, but I had to make a choice. Either stay DC and only run at home, or go DCC and not only run with the club, but I could still run at home( on pure DC, with the decoder function turned on for DC). By this time I had a fleet of 70 engines to fit with decoders! [:0] So I fashioned a solution. I bought a DCC system (NCE, same as the club), and started converting engines, got proficient installing decoders and found several folks who either couldn't install decoders or would rather pay to have them installed. So I started doing installs for money, and over the next few years, financed the conversion of all my other engines![:D] I worked for me![^] Your mileage may vary[;)]
