DCC train sets.

[NCGrimbo]

Does anyone know of any complete train sets that have all the DCC components in one box? IE: Train w/DCC, tracks, DCC command station, throttle, etc.

Thanks

Bachmann has a few sets: digital commander, southern and transcontinental
Roco has some also.

If I were you, I would avoid them, and get a DCC ready loco from Athearn, a Digitrax Zephyr, and some flextrack/ cork, or KATO unitrack.

I would have to agree. I just dont see the quality in those things. I know, I looked at one at my LHS.

Actually, I have a Digitrax Super Chief system. My brother was looking into getting a starter set until he has the money to upgrade and asked me if I knew of any. I didn't, so I thought I'd ask everyone here. I agree that it is best to not get one of them and I did tell him that, but he's not ready to spend the money on a larger system.

Thanks for the advice and info.

He can get the stuff for cheaper than in a starter set. The starter sets usually use sectional roadbed included track, which is expensive and unreliable. If he gets some flex, a few turnouts, some cork, and a basic DCC system, or a used DC powerpack for now, he can get started for little $$$, and then work up to something better.
