I'm an old timer I guess, being in H0 since 1956, when I was 13. I would never consider DCC for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the evangelical fervor with which so many DCC advocates feel they need to attempt to "convert" us with. I never changed religions based on anyone telling me why I should, either.[:D] Seriously though, I don't need or want DCC, because my layout runs to my own satisfaction on block-control DC. The block control wiring was EASY, despite what many DCC advocates incorrectly preach.[V] I don't anticipate changing my expectations for the layout, either. When I have to change, it will be to a smaller layout, or some modules, and I would be running less trains, not more. All being said, if I were young, and just starting out, I would probably go with equipment that could readily be converted to DCC....but after seeing that article on p.96 of the Dec 2003 MR, "Third Generation DCC " I might worry that the whole concept is just a rapidly self-obsolescing means to suck money out of hobbyists. Good luck Mike
