Thank you...thank you...thank you... <br /> <br />I got so much to learn about I feel overwhelmed and really don't know where to start and what order to accompli***hings. Obviously you can't do anything without a surface to do it on, so I know that's my first step. Right now I'm just learning about this DCC, what I've read in what it can do is totally cool. Yes I want sound, effects, I want it all. I feel lost cause I only know so little about the technology but don't know what all it's capible of, nothing on how to wire it all up to work properly, how to get the engines to work on the system. Yes i want DCC right from the start from laying my first section of track. I don't want to start off with DC then swith to DCC, I don't want a starter system of DCC that I'll have to turn around later and get a better system that will do what I'll then be wanting from it. I want a system that can more than handle this strarting layout but has the muscle to handle what I add to it later. I think the biggest and best system is a little too much for what I need but I think I'll need a little better than basic too. <br /> <br />I don't expect anyone out here to hold my hand as some might think with me asking so many questions, I just need direction to books, online websites, etc... <br /> <br />Have any of you felt overwhelmed like this when you first got started?? I'm sure to all you pros all this is second nature and your a wiz at it and doing it. I wish I knew someone personally that is into this hobby that i can talk with about it and learn from. <br /> <br />As always, thanks for all your replies and help. <br /> <br />Thanks.
