QUOTE: Originally posted by Jessie2500 Having read the above replies, I have to say I agree with 99.9% of them. Am I going to convert to DCC? won't say never, but no intentions of doing so now. Hopefully the price will come down to be more affordable in the future. A statement was made that comparing DCC to cab control years ago. I disagree only in that cab control didn't drive the price up of the rest of the equipment. I'm not anti-DCC by no means and welcome all the new technology being developed today and have little doubt DCC will be replaced by something newer years from now. It seems the aim of manufacturers is to produce "DCC ready" products and this is where I have problem. DCC people say, and rightfuly so, that they are not forcing DCC onto us that by choice, choose not to use it. They are being completely honest in saying that, but we non-DCC people are being forced to spend the extra money to buy locomotives with the extra electonics installed, that we won't use at what cost?? Thats my only "beef" about DCC. In this sense, yes DCC has influenced my model railroading. By: Jessica Ann Szerszen
