Technology: How Much Is Too Much?

[doctorwayne]

Dave, it's difficult to decide which side of the DC/DCC comparison best suits your requirements.

My layout is DC, and I have no need for DCC...it offers nothing that I want or need...it's simply an added expense.  In many cases, it also takes-up room in locos and tenders that could otherwise be good locations for added weight, to improve pulling performance.

On the other hand, DCC is probably a good choice for club layouts, where there are multiple operators running multiple trains...and hopefully a working signal system to prevent cornfield meets.
