I too have returned after ten years away. There is a lot knowldege in here. I don't think I'll ever be as "hard core" as some of these guys, but I'll enjoy my little layout and run my trains until they just can't run no more! Enjoy what these guys have to offer!

Besides making sure your next system is "expandible", look for a system that will allow you to program your decoders using a connector port and your PC. Several DCC systems are now including this in their package. Be sure to double-check though. I think a couple of them give you this as an option but you have to pay extra for it. The Digitrax Zephyr has this option standard on their system.

just to clarify ... the zephyr (and all other digitrax systems) have the option to add a computer interface , it isn't included . as far as i know , only the CVP EasyDCC system has the computer interface as part of the basic system . a couple of the high end european made systems may also include it but i've never researched them to be sure as they're out of my price range (markin and zimo)

I've seen a computer port mentioned on a few DCC systems now. Digitrax don't have it and I don't think Lenz do either - you have to buy a separate little box. I think computers in DCC are just fantastic, so I feel you should factor in the cost of an interface device when comparing systems (LocoBuffer RRP $70).

Welcome Rangerover2 (and you too Rotor). I also got back into this just under a year ago and have really changed a lot of my plans and thinking because of what I've learned here. And yes some of us still use our Tyco stuff on occasion even though the new stuff is so much better. Enjoy. J.R.

Tyco FL-9's on the point pass a DL-109 by the hatbox.
