I just aquired an mrc Prodigy Advance. A LHS was going out of business and sold it to me for about $75
I am actually a bit suprised by the results of this poll. I did not think that so many people were using DCC. The reality of it is that DCC, while adding a new level of operation and realism, is cost prohibitive to a lot of modelers.
I am looking forward to using it myself, but I have alot to learn about it before I start converting all of my locos.

What is an aztec frame?Agree about the sound making it pricey. For my first foray it's under $40 for an Atlas loco and $25 more for an Aztec frame for the speaker and about $60 for the decoder, so the decoder and milled frame are more than 2/3 the cost. Hopefully this weekend I'll get a chance to solder the speaker lead back to the board and actually be able to run it on the test track.
Rob I think ,imho that it would only cost about 17 dollars or so per loco. Still if you have alot of locos it will add up
