Thanks you guys for the welcome. I know I will be asking lots of "dumb " things, but what's great on this site is I don't have to reinvent the wheel. Old enough to know to just follow directions and suggestions. I've already read and copied some important stuff that's very helpfull. Thank God for the computer and DCC and forums like this.

the bachmann DCC system is fine for getting started in DCC and learning how it works , but if you're building a monster layout you'll find it's rather limited . of course monster layouts take a while to build , so i hope you build a small portion of the layout so you can run a train or two when you feel like relaxing [:)]

Hey NJMike, I was in your town last night had dinner in a restaurant on 206 with my lady friend from Hopatcong. I live in Vernon and am the Chief Range Officer at Cherry Ridge.

Hello, this is my first post and just joined. I have been lurking on this site as well as the Atlas site for the past couple weeks. I'm coming back to scale model railroading after 35 years. Brought out my old tyco's, bachmanns and atlas engines. A little cleaning, a little lube, a little push and they all work fine until I go to the train hobby store and find out what I've been missing. Didn't know what DCC was. Retiring and moving to West Virginia. Plan on going to work everyday for a least a year building my "Monster" layout. I have purchased 4 DCC equipped Locos, steam and diesel, 2 with sound and all can be run DC and DCC. I bought that Bachmann no nonsense, easy to use, program, and it works great. I got the Command with Chessie(DCC) engine for $97.00 on Ebay. Anybody have any comments about that particular system for a returning beginner. Happy Trails, Rangerover2
