I've been doing DC since the 70's. When things like the Keller Onboard system and CTC16 came out I was skeptical. Yeah it looked like a good inovation and the sound was really neat, but would it be too complicated? Would it become obsolete? Then DCC hit the market. Hmmmm. Standards that can be followed by several manufacturers. Expandabilitiy. Receivers from numerous manufacturers at different price points. Way cool sound. Naw - probably way to complicated and it was more expensive than purchasing a bunch of toggle switches and I would have to learn a brand new technology. Nope gonna stick with DC. Then I started reading the threads on this forum. Hmmmm. Let's check out this Tony guy's website. Hmmmmm. I haven't read anyone that has bought a DCC system and decided to go back to DC - even self proclaimed technology challenged folks. For the brand loyalty that exists in Digitrax, CVP, Lenz etc owners - it appears that every system has merit. Yeah - I'll probably be going the DCC route in 2005. I've started researching the different systems. I've looked at several at various train shows. Next step is to get some of the books out there (the one from digitrax and the one from Kalmbach). I've already reread the various articles in MR and RMC. Yup gonna do it next year. Of course I'm trying to think how I can bill all you guys on this forum. Y'all convinced me to do this so you should pay the price!
