With any electrical circuit it's nearly always a good idea to have power districts. My layout is only 6'x2' foot so don't really need them.
My track is always dirty. I don't run my trains enough to keep it clean. I don't have any problems with my sound fitted locos.
The main problem with DC locos on a DCC layout is when they are not moving. It can cause motors to overheat, although several people have reported that they have never had this problem.
Roco, the makers of my system, have only released four controllers since 1996. Computer manufacturers, on the other hand, release four brand new systems a year.
