HO owners : Do you run a dc or dcc layout

[Anonymous]

I have a small 4x8 layout, but can't even imagine trying to run it without DCC! It is a triple oval with spurs, sidings and a reversing loop so any train can go anywhere in any direction, just like the real thing!

I have converted all but one of my locos, and am going to install sound in that one (hopefully right after xmas!!)

The cost can be substantial, but once you run DCC you'll never turn back. (I bought a ten pack of DH123's from Tony's for $15.50 each ) Even on my small layout, I frequently run 5 consists at a time and with switching cars, etc. DCC makes it totally realistic.

I have 11 locos with decoders installed and one waiting. Several are MU'd and are great with DCC

DC. I would like to cross over to DCC, but some of my locomotives are not really DCC friendly.

DC. I've got a lot of old brass and the thought of conversion makes me cringe in the pocketbook. And don't tell me to do a few at a time, okay? I'm the guy that would do a few, and then realize that I did the wrong ones for what I wanted at the time--actually, if I were just starting out, I'd probably opt for DCC, since I have a fairly large layout, and I could certainly run more than two trains at a time. But oboy, the thought of re-doing ALL of my brass, and then realizing that with a garage layout I'd be spending most of my operating time running the track-cleaning train instead of the reefer blocks--well, I think I'll just stay where I am. Besides, I have a whole bunch of new BLI's that I can run either way, assuming a friend with a DCC layout will let me.

I am planning to stick to DC. Well, I have tried DCC and don't see where it will do anything for me and the way I am set up, and the way I like to run trains. And, with the way pricing has gone, I don't really see the need to do anything to add to the expense either. To all of you who love it; that's great and more power to you.

Without a dought DCC/ I have a lenz set 100 with the cordless phone adapter for wireless control.Being able to walk around the layout with my trains ,unteathered is by far the coolest thing in model railroading to me.
