To Buy DCC now, or do I work my way up?

[armchair]

 This 'otta open up a can of worms! I assume You are In Ho scale but if you don't have reasonable soldering skills I would just buy dcc equipped locos to begin with. There are so many choices nowadays and at fair prices, I've come to believe its easier than installing plug & play boards. This also frees up time for model building & all the other great things that goes with our hobby. What DCC system are You leaning towards?

Should I buy a DCC loco now, or buy one that is just dcc ready or buy one that is just standard dc...

Whay I ask? Im just wondering if you all went out and bought all the bells and whistles or slowly worked your way up.

Are there any loco's (newer deisel style) that are not possible to be updated?

 Thanks in advance,

Ken

 

edit: Let me add, I will be buying a DCC controler first, I believe they can be run in analog to run non-dcc equiped engines(right?)
