To DCC or not to DCC

Sirs, <br /> <br />I may offer an position that DCC may be the way to go in the future. I have seen throttles in the last 30 years or so. Blocks to run trains etc. But DCC appears to be maturing to the point that engines are being sold with DCC controlled uncouplers. <br /> <br />Someday I will have a complete layout and one of the main issues is that the yard lead will be away from the main. Collisions between trains under DCC is now a real possibility. <br /> <br />If I am not mistaken you may need to protect reverse loops and wyes with gaps to prevent electrical shorts. <br /> <br />Good Luck <br /> <br />Lee
