Does anyone else go to "junk stores" and "flea markets" to get electronic toys, so that they can go home , take it apart, and put the "noise-maker" on his or her layout? IT'S GREAT!!
I do! I recently purchased a large inventory of sortof new to very old engines and rolling stock. I have been having a blast at either, getting them inot good working order or completely rebuilding them. Great learning system. It's getting me more acquainted with the new stuff. I love it!
Its a great thing !Mechanic,Electrician ,Modeler ,Rebuilder,Restorer.I have also been there .Great thing.

So, really... What does DCC have or do better than DC??
bevernie,
If you have a question something else it would be better if you posted it on your own thread that you create. That way you would get more replies. ;)
Paul, would you please explain your comment a bit deeper? I did not understand??
THANX!!
P.S. The one thing that I notice regarding DCC is that you can put sounds on your layout. My point was that you can also do this in DC/analog, only less expensively!!
THANX!!

Sorry,
I didn't understand your question. I do now. :D
a number of notable modelers have done so over the years--from Jack Burgess and the Millers with background sounds, to John Allen who hooked a "laugh box" to be triggered whenever someone tried to operate a selected switch or uncoupler. gj
