Hey, I'm doing model rr for the first time, but being pretty aggressive on my goals. I'm doing an n-scale 6x8 setup, with at least 5 locos, 6 mainline turnouts, plus a railyard and harbor (more turnouts, about 9 total). In looking at dcc systems, it seems the DCS50 would
do me good, unless there is some limit on turnouts or locos I don't know about. The only known issue I have with the DCS50, is that I'd love to do the computer control eventually, which seems like that lends itself to the DB150, which is also twice the price.
Would I be best advised to go with the cheaper system, assuming in a year or two when I want to go computer control, the computer controllable systems are cheaper? Or should I just go with the with the DB150 from the start? Also let me know if there is some other limitation on the DCS50 I missed that may cause me to want to go with the more powerful DB150.
