NYNH&H said:First, you need to learn more about DCC systems, decoders, etc.
You might want to take a look at the more powerful and expandable Digitrax Zephyr, although if you want radio on Digitrax, you will have to have a US contact buy/ send the equipment to you, as only NCE radio is approved by the Australian government. Digitrax also has IR, but it is LOS. Digitrax is the only system that has detection, signalling, and a true peer to peer network, not a polled bus. Digitrax can do Zero Stretching, which allows you to run one non decoded loco on the layout for a SHORT amount of time. It is a real kludge, by stretching the zero bits and creating a positive voltage potential over time, and the loco makes a terrible noise while doing it, but that is a feature that you should be aware of. I personally am going to disable it when I get my Zephyr.
