Group, <br>
<br>
I cut out early on the February meeting and didn't get in on the
discussion. I have been in the hobby for a long time and also
gathered a sizable stable of analog locomotives. Some I have put in
lots of hours on them running on the layout and others that are just
collecting dust as they have<b> never been run.</b><br>
<br>
I feel that the future will be with DCC (I voted against it way back
when) and have been actively converting those locos, that I feel I am
most apt to want to run, to DCC. I have some in my locker that are
still analog for use when DCC is not the choice for the day I am
running on the layout.<br>
<br>
Other than the expense of the decoder (which can be a problem to those
with limited funds) the installation isn't too difficult. Some are
just direct "plug and play". Others are not much more complicated than
putting together one of the more modern kits. Why don't we do a
clinic on installing decoders. Also, maybe if we got together, as a
club, we might be able to purchase a bunch at a discount.<br>
<br>
Operation is certainly easier and better with DCC and I know that some
that like to run analog have difficulties with the switches and buttons
on the control panel and depend on those that know how to run it.
With DCC, most of these problems disappear.<br>

<div>I actually raised the question at the Feb meeting about whether
or not to run all DCC. There was a little bit of discussion and we did
make the decision to run both days as DCC. I also have a lot of analog,
but also agree that the shows tend to run smoother with more trains on
DCC. I believe we could loan some of the club DCC engines to people who
only have analog for the shows. </div>
