Have a capacious basement, built 4'8 table and working on a DCC HO layout with my sons. A bit over ambitious, but laid out the track to be "expandable" in a modular kind of way, once we finish this table...
Only "DC" right now, with all the track and cars I had as boy, but hope to switch to DCC by the end of the year.
Still laying track right now. Apparently we will have to get all new switches (or can you modify the old ones to make them DCC friendly?), looking for info on what kind of controller to get, looking at different locos... would prefer the locomotive "ready to run" with sound and everything already installed, so we can get to modeling the layout, landscaping, models, etc. (I don't feel confident building the locomotive myself).
Hope to learn from you!
