Tom,
I don't think that Matt has done anything else with DCC in a while. Perhaps
trying a search here in .trains for DCC will bring you up what he had done
last...but I am reasonably sure that he had gotten it to a working stage, and
has not had time to go any further.
I _could_ be interested, but with the price of the equipment, and the lack of
multi trains that I want to run, I think that conventional wiring will work
fine for now on my lego trains. (I'd be more interested in it for my model
train switching layout, because of the slow speed application, than for the
lego trains right now, with the 2 loops being so separated, and not really long
enough to need DCC for a second train...right now, the top loop still has the
tail chasing train on it anyway (it covers 3/4 of the loop, made of around 100
pieces of track)
