Hi folks,


The issue is that everyone has to go DCC in
one shot for a group layout-the unmodified motors probably will just zip
along uncontrolled on a DCC track.

Thats what they will do, because there's ALLWAYS the FULL power on the • tracks.
The BIG advantage from DCC is that EVERY TRAIN can run at DIFFERENT SPEED ON
THE SAME TRACK.It's up to some clever software to prevent collision, or bump
into each other.
I too a'm starting with a DCC project, completely build-up with plans / book
from ELEKTUUR (ELECTOR in English), but it's not finished yet.I think it
will take another few months before my first test run.When finished, i'll
post it to Lugnet.trains

regards,
Ludo

If it is proven reliable, easy to do and cheap, I migth consider upgrading to
DCC.

but I would prefer to stay 100% lego
