@Pete M Thanks! I appreciate your thoughts. I "think" I hae taked myself into getting the ESU DCC system...I like the price with the amount of AMPs I will get, plus I like that wifi is all they offer (I think). The only way I will buy a decoder is if it is already in an engine. So if I buy one, I will definitely get advice here. You guys have given me great advice so far.
I have pretty much decided I am coming over to the 2 rail side and will be selling my 3 rail stuff that won't convert overor I won't need...Legacy 990, a couple of steam engines, etc.
I have a 180w Lionel brick...will that be useful on the 2 rail side?
Also, what is your guys prefered Kadee couplers or does it depend on the car you are converting?
@AGHRMatt @catnap I only have maybe 10-12 Scale freight cars...a few MTH, the rest Lionel. Once I get home, I will check to see what they look like in terms of mounting pads. I know the 2 Premier MTH I have have them. They are both single dome tank cars. There is the Lionel Central of Georgia caboose (6-27657) I will want to convert over...so I looked at Atlas scale couplers with pickups for wiring the lighting and I assume the smoke unit will still work also.
