When I first saw the Bachmann DCC system I thought this may be an option for me as my layout is in the early construction phase and I plan to go DCC. The limitation was the number of functions the system can support. My plan is to have DCC sound in most if not all locos eventually ( the Shay with the Soundtrax decoder did it for both my wife and I). <br />I have done a lot of research into what suits my requirements and am purchasing an NCE system. I considered the purchase of the Bachmann system to set up the layour and then upgrade later and give the Bachmann system to my daughters when they get a bit older and start playing with electric trains (they are getting a Timber Thomas Set for christmas so they don't have to play with my expensive fragile ones. they are both under 3 years and love toot-toots). <br />For someone starting off in the hobby who wants to be able to run trains out of the box on a simple layout the system would probably meet their needs but with no information on expandability available it is too basic for my requirements.
