yeah i saw some block wiring diagrams for makeing a straight DC layout and was like "oh no!" this DCC sounds really cool. sounds almost like working with a programming language on a coumputer. does it disregard track polarity; i.e. you could have 2 locos on one track going different directions, and then change one to go the same way? i dont know much about electrical stuff.....is it like you can program commands to individual locos and get them to do sepereate things, and the decoder just changes the way current is recieved, or something like that? <br /> <br />and also if i was to go DCC, what is a good power pack/system to get (nothing too flashy and expensive, but something that will give me a wide range of stuff,) and can i upgrade or make normal DC locos DCC? sounds like its just a matter of putting in a decoder?
