Thank you to all for your guidance. It has been very helpful. I think I will return the 44561 and get the DCC turnout. I'm a novice but received the starter set as a DCC and have been trying to build on that. I currently have four engines and about 20 cars. My table runs along three walls and is about 30' in total length with track on two levels. Not sure where I will go from here as far as table space but I have plenty of room for scenery and landscaping, bridges, etc. that I still need to do a lot on. I read where a 65 year old decided to hire experts to build his layout because he didn't think he would get it completed. I'm four years older than that but I will keep chipping away at it. Thanks again to all.
