And DCC works just fine on 3 rail track, the problem is all those thousands of DCS, TMCC, Legacy, AC motored loco's everybody all ready owns. As mine die they are getting DCC replacement decoders, but very few people have a small enough roster to make that kind of change. The decoder I use along with the higher watt speaker and the keep alive ( think BCR ) cost about $200 with tax and shipping per loco. But I get one hardware remote that runs my MTH, Lionel, K-Line, Williams, and Weaver loco's. The only one I can't run with DCC is an old lionel scout I got from my uncle that has an AC motor. As far as new loco's go, all PS3 engines will run on DCC, so MTH and Atlas are a go.
