QUOTE From reading the DCC UK forum, it seems the Hornby Elite is turning out to be less than perfectly spec'ed
You mean you can understand the DCC UK forum!
My guess would be that at the price of under £100 for the top range unit with the spec that it has got and with chips at around £8 does anybody who is not a member of the DCC UK forum really care!
I still cannot understand this fascination with paying for control units that control 255 million locos or whatever. How many people in the UK can run more than 10 at time?
Ford or Rolls Royce anybody?
There are companies who listen to what the DCC experts want, and there are companies who listen to what the general public want. Which catagory to Bachmann and Hornby fit into?
It may come as a shock to some of you but they are not out to "sell" a system to the DCC experts!
If the DCC experts understood the market in the UK for DCC then why isn't everybody already operating with DCC!
At the end of the day when it comes to DCC I am a total realist, don't want to spend a huge fortune, want something which I know has or will have good UK customer support, and don't want to get too involved in the technology behind it. If it does what it says on the packet then great!
There are probably a lot of people who think like me and they probably far outnumber the membership of the DCC UK forum and even MRF!
Now if you are one of those people on a limited budget who, like me, is thinking Hornby or Bachmann, and until now has been put off from getting involved in DCC chit chat then why not sign up to Model Rail Forum!
Happy modelling
