That is a great project. Nice looking switch machine too. And as Doug-SR says above, it's great to see something in DCC for 3 rail!

DCC really fits my needs well, especially when you get into designing and building your own stuff. A project like this would have been much harder working with proprietary protocols.

Off topic a little bit, but I also chose DCC because I can buy engines from any manufacturer. MTH is awesome with the PS3 having native DCC support. But any of the others are usable as well with a decoder replacement. Admittedly this adds some cost and effort, but it allows me to run any engine I want. I currently have some MTH PS3 engines, as well as some older MTH, Atlas, and Williams that I have upgraded.
