@TexasSP Thanks for the response. I have been leaning towards NCE (actually have a bid on one on Ebay right now). I assume NCE and Digitrax hasn't changed is because DCC is standard...but I looked at the ESU system and it looks pretty good also. Wonder if their base system will run O scale ..I didn't see how many AMPs their basic system was. I was looking at the NCE 5 AMP to start since I have nothing yet..and will start with one engine probably no sound then upgrade to another 5 AMP if I go full on 2 rail.

Anyone here run the ESU system? I saw that @SANTIAGOP23 does...the non handheld system (other than phone). I watched a few of his videos...was very informative and looks like a good system.

My main complaint with MTH is them losing the handheld remote. I don't think I want a touchscreen/phone to run trains. I do like the tactile feel of my Legacy remote now...and NCE looks similar.
