Geez Ed, Your explanation would have taken me 5 days to write with my dyslexia and all. But it was VERY informative. Thanks a lot! You told me about NCE 100 years ago when all I knew about DCC was Digitrax. You were testing NCE I think. I was NEVER going to get DCC because of the conversion expense. Well, never can be only a few years!
Is short for me, getting my own NCE system negated any reason for me to want to run any engine in DC or any engine with a decoder in DC mode. If I were running a DC engine, it was while or just as I was about to put in a decoder. So the fact that NCE systems (now thanks to Ed's wonderful explanation) could not easily run an engine without a decoder was now a moot point as well. Apparently the NCE designers figured the way the market was going, or hopefully would go. In reality, model trains today are by far not a child's or even a teenager's hobby any more. We are all mostly 40+ with reasonable expendable income. Or like me, never change my spending ways whether I can afford it of not, even while being unemployed! I think my priorities are right on track! the addition of a DCC system is a considerable investment, but it is just the next turn of the evolution wheel Thank You, Bill Lane Modeling the Mighty Pennsy & PRSL in 1957 in S Scale since 1988 See my finished models at: http://www.lanestrains.com Winner of the 2007 Josh Seltzer NASG Website Award Look at what has been made in PRR in S Scale!
