James, do you mean to say that you are actually running ~5 trains on
your LEGO layout? That you are actually using DCC successfully? I've

I've only tried 3 at once.  I only have one throttle with 2 speed controls,
therefore after 3 trains, it becomes somewhat harder to control the trains.

However, I have demo'd this at LLCa, it was on the PNLTC layout.  Works fine,
except that the thermal overload didn't like the 30+ C weather :) (That'd be 3
trains, 2 DCC, one "conventional"- I only had 3 motors with DCC at the time)


I've wanted DCC for some time. It's so 'real'.

though...)
