I must have missed something in your original post, probably got interrupted while reading it? I was looking at the red line to the tracks and thinking power I guess. Sounds like you have things pretty well figured out then and are way ahead of me.
Good to hear that Legacy works with DCC, also interesting. I plan to take a look at your other thread too. I have DCS and Legacy, so if I ever get to DCC was planning on a seperate loop/system for DCC. MTH also has DCC in their PS3 items, but I am not sure that DCC and DCS will work together? That might also be something worth me looking into someday. I have a lot more MTH than Legacy on my layout, only a couple of Legacy items. Started out with an MTH set and added DCS right after that.
I wonder why Lionel doesn't put DCC in their O gauge items? You would think it would be easier to use all the same boards across their product lines? I believe that is what MTH has done with their PS3 boards. I think they started that (and PS3) when they went into HO a few years ago. Maybe Lionel wants us to continue purchasing Legacy systems, or maybe they have other reasons?
Like you, I have seen a few DCC items, only in HO, operate and have heard their sounds. I was quite impressed with some of the stuff they now have. I also like the fiddly bits like switches and things, maybe I have never used a 'good' rotary switch, but it has been many years since I have even been near one. The fiddly stuff is one reason I have always liked DCC since getting back into the hobby. I will probably stay with DCS/Legacy with DCC on the side, but you never know... Good luck with it all.
