DCC and "Seasoned" Brass Locomotives

[Charlie B]

Bil, I use the Prodigy Advance, and I love it, but if I had a second choice it would be NCE. I would also use NCE or TCS decoders, for non-sound units. I have two units with digitrax decoders, and they work OK, but programing them can only be done in the program track and to me this seems to really slow things up too much. I like decoders that can be set up on the main so you can instantly see what you are doing. Changing address, on the program track is OK, but when you are adjusting start voltage, kick start, top voltage and other running functions it is nice to see if you are going the right way. As for sound I would go with Lok-sound, or QSI.
