Power To Layout

Gary has this question:

I am brand new to model railroading & will be setting-up a small N Scale layout (less than 4′ x 8′)using Kato Unitrak.  I also have a Kato locomotive that has DCC with LokSound.  After wiring the bus (with feeders) can I initially run the locomotive using the Kato Power Controller (22-018) that I have and then in the near future switch over to the NCE Power Cab I have been looking at?  Or, should I just bite the bullet and go out and get the Power Cab to begin with?  I just can’t seem to find any articles that address this issue.  Let me thank you in advance for any help/guidance any of you may be able to provide.”
