    Thinking about DCC

    Thats why i was thinking about DCC. I am ok with wireing to begin with and all that to make the switchs and all the cabs work is just crazy. For now I am going to stay with DC but when i get more than one cab, ill really have to decide on a DCC system.

    My layout and I are together again for the first time. I started to get into ho when I was younger but could never get a ride to the hobby shop or Home Depot to get wood, so I gave up.
