 As a modeler in Canada, south of Montreal, where finding ANYTHING at all of decent quantity or quality is a concern, and where lone wolfing is often a must, DC is the way to go. Yes, I can get DCC but usually older models and then there is the PRICE!!. With the exchange and all, ...you get the point. A $100 us funds item after exchange and customs and brokerage fees can be $200 easily. Boy you gotta love a Trix Big BOy a lot to buy one DCC equiped...HA! HA! HA!... Being by design a lone wolf, I can only run 1 train at a time anyway. What I really want is more info on running my train (S) using my laptop. No other method seems right for me. I can't seem to find any really detailed info anywhere. I have seen a few hints in MR over the years but no really detailed info. Likewise on the web, a bit of info but to really understand all that is involved you basically have to buy the whole package. Can anyone who uses their PC to run trains set me straight on A/D converters, interfaces, detectors and anything else needed. The PC seems like the only way to go for a lone wolf if you want to simulate many trains but stay under control.
