Converting From DC To DCC

“I am thinking about going with DCC instead of DC and I would like to know which DCC system is favored for someone just getting into DCC. My layout will be 27′ X 17′ HO with upper and lower levels. What DCC system would others who use DCC recommend?”

One Response to Converting From DC To DCC

  • Ken Malgren says:

    This probably isn’t going to be a lot of help. If you ask six modelers about DCC systems, you’re likely to get six different answers, all for good reasons. You need to examine all the systems available and choose one that fits your budget and features what you want. NCE, Digitrax, MRC and Lenz are all high quality manufacturers. Not to say that those not mentioned aren’t, I just don’t have experience with them.
    If you do your research and stay “in-budget” you should do well.
