I have looked at most of the other DCC systems and the NCE is the one I like the best. I was also impressed the the NCE systems are mabe in the USA, They have some youtube videos of their factory and how they make their DCC stuff (if you haven't seen them already?). I have not watched them in a couple of years, but I was impressed when I last saw them.
Why not just run your HO system in DCC and skip the MTH DCS system? I am not completely current on all the MTH DCC features, but I thought they had expanded them somewhat from their start into the HO world? Is there is still an advantage to also having a DCS system with HO??
I haven't seen those videos, you have a link to them? The reason for wanting to use DCS in HO is that if I get a MTH Steamer with the quillable whistle, I'd want to use it and I don't know if you can use that feature on the NCE system. Plus I'd been using DCS for a long time in O scale and I find it easy to use.
I think EBT Jim beat me to it, but the videos I saw were on NCE's website.
I hadn't thought about the quilling whistle, don't know if that works with DCC or not? Also someone above mentioned MTH updates, I hadn't thought of that wither. I would imagine that can only be done with the DCS system. I now see your point and the need for both systems.
I have both the DCS and Legacy systems for my O gauge stuff. There is also definitely a need for both of those, IMO. Don't know a lot about the DCC stuff, but I really would like to some how try out the NCE system on my layout one of these days. NCE also makes a lot of other DCC devices for train and layout control and I have been impressed with those that I have seen as well.
I have the legacy and DCS command systems for my O gauge stuff too. Maybe I'll email MTH and see what they say.
