Considering I have and like the older stuff I am going to try dcc when I can start on my final layout. I may be able to borrow a digitrax system, buy a couple decoders and see how it works.

Be prepared to get hooked.

I'm still a couple of years away from moving and building a larger layout, and have spent the time constructing buildings and tuning up my tunnel, rock, and mountain creating skills. But on father's day, Nassau ran their 20% discount sale , and I decided to wait no longer. I converted my existing 4 x 10 layout to 3 rail dcc, and purchased an MTH UP NW-2 switcher with PS3, which does dcc as well. (It can run DCC, DCS, or conventional by just placing it on the track. )

I can easily swap my layout back into conventional mode, but have never done it. I may be done with conventional.

Now I'm constantly on the lookout for any nice looking steam engines that I can convert to dcc.
