Dear All,
I only signed up yesterday but I've already been reading some great articles discussing DCC. After six month's pondering whether to go digital or not, I took the plunge and received a Select unit for Christmas. I haven't had chance yet to even plug it in, but the first opportunity I get I will.
I realise that some of you are operating far better systems than the Select, and that sounds great, I wish I was.
I'd like to stick up for the Select though and the Hornby decoders, they are affordable to those of us running a railway on a shoestring, and although it might not technically meet some of the other items on the market, if it does what it says on the box, it will meet my requirements for running my layout. From what I've been reading it sounds like a good controller for the younger people just starting out with their first layout.
I guess it's a case of horses for courses, and maybe after putting a toe in the DCC water we'll all want to upgrade to a better system in the long term!
I intend to keep you posted with how I get on, and I would like to thank all of you who have contributed the articles on fitting decoders etc, the pictures are a great help!!! I will try and add a few more once I get chance.
Best wishes
Mike
