You got that right. I didn't burn any decoders that way, but I found other ways. :cry:
And the controversy was in my mind. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against dcc. Someday when I am rich I might even go back to it. The decision was mainly a matter of economics. I could either buy a new dcc set and everything I would need to make it work on my garage layout, or buy 1 or 2 dc hand held throttles, since I have everything else for dc. Moneys talks, as the saying goes.
