Greetings! I have the bachmann dcc system and i must say besides the lack of power (as running 2 - 3 trains drag a bit, as in when i start up the 2nd the 1st slows down etc..) but besides that the simplicity of it and really just having controll of all the locos on the track and less wiring to put into the track now, it's really nice. I'd run at most 3 - 4 locos at a time (2 mainline, 1 or 2 sidings). 1.8m x 3.6m scale (sorry about the metric but i'm in australia [:D]). Once the 5amp power pack comes out (although the dvd which came with it states that the controller can handle more power or you can add a booster pack). Once this happens i'll be happy with the system. As for accessories, with sound i'm not sure, but i can control a lot of features (up to 10 i think) with the unit too. And it's future expandable with walkaround controllers and if i want to add later on a unit to control dcc points and stuff. For the price it's good. If you want to have all your locos with different numbers, well perhaps sometimes you forget its running the trains thats fun. Taking a loco off the track (do you have 1000 locos on the track?) isn't that hard to do. Anyway it's only my opinion but the system stands on it's own quite well to me. Soulnet
