DC/DCC

[Green_Elite_Cab]

I have said elsewhere that DCC didn't really simplify anything, it just moved the wiring from outside the loco to inside the loco. Someone on this thread mentioned 'running the layout'. That's essentially what DC is - DCC is running the train, not the layout. So moving the complexity inside the engine isn't all bad, I guess, from that perspective. I don't like wiring. There's a sense of satisfaction in getting it done and seeing it run, but DC engines provide that satisfaction without any additional work.

Except that instead of spending hours under a layout wiring something up, only to still have to contend with keeping up with the blocks, You can just plug a decoder in (9 out of 10 times), and then the locomotive will take care of it. the flexibility over a block is where DCC wins.
