So kinda out a luck huh? I'd b better off buying one sound ready? Then there's the Q of can I get one that runs analog, or should I just upgrade that now too and use DCC? I have ran N scale off and on in mid 90's but the cool digital stuff for this has been perty tough to get caught up on. I feel like my dad when he finally went to dvd, lol. Anyway recommendations for a decent priced stater DCC/transformer would be appreciated. thanks again
