"S" gauge is a great mid-size gauge. You can feel the heft of a locomotive, but is small enough to make a good size layout. DCC makes wiring a lot simpler. The learning curve I find for DCC is similar to computers of the early eighties. (Or, maybe I am a slow learner) Anyway it will be worth it in the long run. Switches and other items on the layout can be operated by DCC. At least that is the impression I get. I just got a DCC system which means I might not know what I am talking about. Then again............. All "S " Items are scale in length of the rolling stock, whereas the same can't be said for "O" gauge. American Flyer items aren't perfect in detail but the basic measurements are. Besides that you will meet a great bunch of guys in "S" gauge. We have a lot to offer and happy to help when help is needed.
