Thanks for the feedback. The DCC route seems like the right way to go.
I have purchased yet a third complete N scale set [Explorer] and a set of switch tracks, so I am anxious to get going on combining the three sets into a single layout on a 5 foot by 10 foot platform.
PS. I was very pleased that the train has never jumped the tracks when passing through the switch tracks. I was concerned that the tolerances on N scale would be a real problem [headache] but the train has passed over the switchtracks in both directions over 100 times now without a derailment. Very impressive quality for very little money!
Thanks again,
