Hey Guys, Was planning to convert my entire fleet over to DCC, but now that you have shed light on DCB, I might just hang that idea up and go for this instead. I really wasn't looking forward to converting my fleet over to DCC anyhow (60+ diesel engines). Because of the size of my fleet, DCB would be more cost effective to me. I would just have to invest in about a couple dozen or so resistors for my cabooses and end unit cars. The only drawback I could forsee here is the wiring of my large (80 x 16) layout into blocks, and "knowing" which cars have rear-end resistors. You would just have to hookup the resistors to your caboose fleet and any FRED-equipped cars. A question though. Does this do away with the CTC panel and your track diagram with all your signals and switch locations? I was looking forward to building one of those. Thanks. -Wolv33
