Hi all <br /> <br />Trevor, you already got a wealth of info on this, but I didn't come across the cheapest option: direct drive. That is an old x86 PC, a booster, some appropiate software and away you go! There are several programs, and a good source for info is the British MERG website: http://www.merg.org.uk/index2.htm with their DIY DCC system. Direct link: [url]http://www.merg.org.uk/links.htm#DCC%20(NON-COMMERCIAL)[/url] <br /> <br />I can imagine you don't want all the fuss of a homebrew DCC project. In that case you're decision has to be based on what throttle you like the most. Because it's that throttle you use on a practicly daily basis! Try them (or at least as many as you can) on a friend's layout, perhaps on a show. Use it for a longer period of time, several hours if possible. Only then are you able to tell wether or not that particular throttle suits your needs and is still comfortable in your hands. <br /> <br />Regards, Vincent Wesstein <br />the Netherlands <br /> <br />PS: I have nothing to do with moderating on this forum, so please don't let my nick-name fool you [;)] I'm afraid I can't change it into something more appropiate without the help of the real moderators here [V]
