Hi all, first off, HAPPY EASTER!
I am still evaluating various dcc systems, and I am still leaning towards a Lenz system. I like the look and feel, and it's used by two modelrailroad groups in my area, so the advantage of owning it myself would be to be able to bring one of my own throttles to a meet.
However, my financial situation is not great at present, and I am therefore still looking around, and recently discovered that a NCE starter system (which easily expands to a bigger system in the future) set's me back in the region of £135,- (I'm in the UK as you can tell) , or about half that of a Lenz system. I also like the way it looks, and it appears to be programming quite easily (downloaded their manual) too.
So based on that, it is certainly something I seriously considering as an alternative.
Does anyone here own an NCE system, and would you care to share your experiences here?
Cheers!
