Witch loco the best for dcc?
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, March 4, 2005 10:34 AM
I'm building a small n scale layout and going to use the Bachmann ez-dcc
to get my feet wet with dcc. Due to the size of my layout, I want to get
a Santa Fe warbonet (I think there cool looking) F3 loco. who makes
a good quality, not the cheap junk, I was looking at kato, atlas, IM. anyothers I should look at?

Second question, witch one is the easest to convert to dcc, or already a dcc model?

Let me see, a witch loco would be one owned by a witch. I don't know which loco would be the best.

My experience is with Kato, which to me is great! I've heard Atlas is great too but be sure you do not need a custom frame. Most newer DCC locos have a frame included like the Kato locos. Plus, with Kato the decoders are plug-in-play - no wires to mess with.
