Okay thanks Dave. That is very helpful. And yes just getting started. Boy this O gauge takes a bit of room and money eh? Yes on mixed bag of equipment as well spanning like 60-70 years.
I did not realize TMCC was so prevalent. I definitely know MTH is going out of business. Too bad as I used to be a few blocks from his store in Columbia before he started producing his own trains. But when I refer to DCC I really meant anything that uses a digital decoder. Which it looks to me like Lionel does as well as MTH. The difference from my HO is that they seem to have been proprietary. Sorry for the confusion. Do not know the language too well yet.
If Lionel TMCC/Legacy is going to continue to be supported I have no problem using that. I have nothing invested yet other than the one tmcc loco. I think I read that the latest version of Legacy is NMRA compatible so that would open it up to other vendors. Kind of like IBM PC's were once the only desk tops then...
Thanks for the recommendation on ERR. I am looking forward to getting familiar with the vendors and such. Hope they put this O Gauge magazine out soon, I still am waiting for my first copy. I read Model Railroader but now recognize the MR does not cover O in an extensive way like they do HO and N. Who knew?
