[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ACL Fan</i> <br /><br />DCC. <br /> <br />It works best on small layouts where 2 trains running would mean constant toggle-flipping with DC block control. Don't know where people got the idea that DCC is for "big" layouts. <br /> <br />Start now while you're small and you won't face the "I have 50 locomotives and can't afford to convert them" issue later on. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br />AMEN brother! (can I get a hallelujah from the choir) [:D] <br />On both counts. My home layout is small, but I can imagine doing all the switching and intermixing of engines with DCC. Just trying to remember block limits is a total hassle! Also starting with a small fleet is easier. When I got my DCC I had about 60 engines, and it took me a few years before I got to the "everything is DCC" stage. But all new engines are purchased with the right decoder and get practical immediate use! <br /> <br /> karlb <br />visit the fcsme at www.fcsme.org <br />NCE_DCC since 1998 <br />DC free since 2002[:D][:D][:D]
