Thank you for the addition into the group. A lot to be learned by me. Plan is to start on a 34' square garden railway soon. I will most likely go with DCC-EX for control, but remain ignorant of all things DCC at this point. Locos ranged from Bachmann shay to Aristo and LGB, with a Heartland or 2 in the mix. I have a LOT of reading to do on this site. Again, thank you to all.
