BlueComet400 posted:Bill, you're not the only one who still likes conventional control and older trains. Most of my trains are prewar tinplate, and I wouldn't consider doing any conversions on them. A few months ago, I decided to add DCS and I love it. Yes, it has its quirks, but so do E-units. What sold me on DCS is that it gives you the ability to run older, conventional trains with a wireless remote control, instead of being tied to a transformer. I currently have 2 DCS-equipped engines, and will likely add more, but prewar trains will always be my primary interest. I saw adding DCS as a way to add flexibility and improve the operation of my older trains, while making the most of the few modern trains in my collection. For relatively short money, you can add DCS to your layout and give it a try. You might be surprised.

I sure would like to see an instructional video on how to accomplish adding DCS to a conventional layout - on the cheap.
