Tech, good, bad, indifferent?

I fought DCC off for a while. I purchased a locomotive that was DC & DCC both, this was around 2000. It was programed to have momentum even in DC. Any interruption in power caused it to start again at 0. It would then start again. I have several cross overs on my double track main. I also have ladder tracks in 3 yards (2 hidden) and several places with multiple switches. It was a pain. My new loco was useless. I contacted the manufacturer and was told it was easy to fix, just program it out. How do I do that with DC? So I got into DCC .I feel it makes modeling easier. I did get hooked on sound but later felt it was a nice thing to have but nicer to F8 it( turn it off). So I have both and use both and like both although I use DCC more than DC. As far as cost goes I can make a loco DCC for about $20 So that is what I do 1@ a time, I still have about 10 left to add decoder. Sometimes I get sound, sometimes not.
