Hi Steve, (Hawkmoth) and welcome to the forum,
There are plenty of people on here who will be able to give you plenty of advice in DCC. My only recommendation would be to stick to one of the long established manufacturers of kit - you will have fewer problems. dbclass50 I know uses Fleischmann twincentres with very few (if any) problems. It's nice to see you are looking at European N - it will keep goedel company
.
The other advantage with the period you have selected is that you can still run a few steamers on the main.
Keep us all posted.
Regards
