Many terms are used in discussing our trains. TMCC, Proto2, DCS, Command Control, ODYSSEY II, Legacy, Trainmaster, Train Sounds, Rail Sounds, Dyna-Chuff, etc., and etc.

Sure would be nice if somebody in the know could print an index defining each term and suggesting what kind of operator, beginner, advanced, conventional, etc., needs to take advantage of which.
