I am just about to move on to DCC -- my layout is end to end with a 3 platform terminal station at one end, fiddle uard at the other. There is a 3 road Motive Power Depot (Loco's and DMU's) and a part double track/single track mainlne approaching the terminal. There is a also a short coal siding (3 wagon length) as well as a loco holding siding adjacent to the station Overall length of the layout is approx 18 feet
I am looking at using either the Dynamis or the NCE PowerCab.
I have seen that both appear to be good and reasonably priced starter systems with add ons available, but I have read that the Dynamis does not read CVs -- is this the case as it says it has programming
I note the PowerCcb is wired and comes with a Power Panel (does this have to be fixed to something) whereas the Dynamis is a wireless handheld so in theat respect they are different
Any other info on the diffferences and benefits of one or the other for the type of layout I have would be helpful.
