I would suggest that two of the most important things when looking at getting a "new" system are what local support is available, not necessarily commercial but from other modellers in your area, and how comfortable are you with the controller.

You could buy the perfect system by specs and get frustrated with it because you cant make it work as you expect.

Cheers

I think that there are two other questions that need to be asked as well:
1) what sort of chips you want to put into your locomotives
2) what accesory type decoders you may use in the future

No one said it would be easy to try and find the right system for you layout.

Hi Richard,

I have to admit that some of the ESU menu's are hard to get around at times.

The sad thing is that because most of us will not be programming chips everyday, it potentially takes longer to set up a single locomotive than if you were to do 3-4 at a time.
