Oops, somewhere I nissed the N scale 
Well that changes things a lot - sound isn't as good, you just can;t do much from a super tiny speaker. Plus if there are drop in sound decoders for various N scale locos, they will be MRC and those don't have all the nifty features. For many newer N scale locos there are drop in NON-sound decoders, and I do find the less restricted movement on a small layout make DCC worthwhile, even more so that a large layout where no two trains really come close to one another except at a siding. Unless of course there will never be more than one moving loco at at a time.
