digitrax

Thanks skipgear. You've given me some options to consider I'm sure I'll go with your suggestion about digitracks.

Any recommendation of a DCC controller, ect that I could get that will work well with my KATO Unitrack I'm not going to be happy until i can run more than one train on my set up.

Thanks for your reply i was afraid of that.and yes my EMD's are Kato.  I'm just glad i can correct it. Ive tried to read all about DCC and what it does. I just haven't got it figured out yet. Could you recommend how and what i should get to convert to DCC, that will not break the bank

Hello all this is my first post in this forum.  I'm new to the hobby about a year. I have had a Kato Unitrax DC set up with two EMD, AB units, Its been grat no problems just enjoying this great new hobby. I received my first steam engine yesterday, a Backman Baldwin 4-6-0 DCC ready. The new engine seems slow and clumsy at first after running it for a while it ran a little better, just sooooo much slower than my EMD units. Is this normal? I was hoping to run both trains together but the 4-6-0 is just too slow. I run the EMD units on the outside track and the 4-6-0 on the inside not being able to switch them out. Any advice guys? Am I asking to much from my 4-6-0 and or is there a way to slow my EMD units down. Thanks in advance.
