Whether or not all DCC is fair, or not, is clear to me, it's not. Never mind I voted yes. We should probably, at least, consider a few more DCC engines and perhaps trains. I'm thinking passenger trains, right now I believe the only really functional passenger train is the Amtrak. Also a few more DCC freight engines. While I understand what drove the "locking up" of the current DCC engines (are we still doing that?) it seems counter productive (let's by stuff which we feel is too valuable to run??) <div> <br> </div> <div> Just a thought or two on the subject. </div> </div> <div class="gmail_extra"> <br> <div class="gmail_quote"> On Sun, Mar 8, 2015 at 10:56 AM, ACCRS HO Scale <span dir="ltr"><<a target="_blank" href="mailto:accrs-ho@mail.accrs.org">accrs-ho@mail.accrs.org</a>></span> wrote: <br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Message From: Dean & Margaret Lewis <a target="_blank" href="mailto:lewis2@earthlink.net">lewis2@earthlink.net</a> <br> <br> <br> <div> 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> <br> Dean <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> On 3/8/2015 10:36 AM, ACCRS HO Scale wrote: <blockquote> <pre>Message From: Marc Stearman <a target="_blank" href="mailto:dmstearman@gmail.com">dmstearman@gmail.com</a> </pre> <br> <fieldset></fieldset> <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.
