Herc: You probably don't need power districts yet. You won't need them unless you get to the point of having over 5 amps of load on the layout -- including standing locos with sounds and lighted coaches. If you go for power districts, you should think of where you may have big loads -- the engine terminal, the main line.
If you put a pile of DC locos on a DCC layout and run them on 0, it will be like turning all the blocks on for a DC layout -- all run at once with no discretion or discipline.
