Hi Lisa,
I have recently found myself plugging your table above.
Great work. As I said, worth a thousand words. Once it is read by the beginner I'm sure we will have many new members to the Lenz fold. He He.
I would like to make the following contribution for your consideration.
If they (Roco) continue then the Roco Mouse Two system has a great deal to offer the middle rank user.
While I changed to a full spec Lenz system, I still use the Mouse as my control device of choice. It is simply the best - In m h o.
1. I was once told by a leading dcc expert that the mouse alone cannot change points. This is not true. The Mouse alone can change points using Roco Turnout Drive 42624 ( I guess if you are using Roco turnouts only). Or by the fantastic Route and point controller add on; Roco 10772. This extra has to be factored in as an additional 'true'cost.
2. The mouse does not programme on the main!! You have to wire in a switch yourself and it programmes to a programming track like any other system. If your wire no switch, then you system with all the locos, becomes one huge programming track!
3. RRand co have designed a specific spin off computer program for this system. From glancing at the manual much of it is identical to the full blown RRan Co Train Controller. It has been called Rocomotion.
