FM, I don't have a DCC controller as yet. I am gradually filling the gaps in for what I need in HO and my Prewar trains.
I am presently building a train building, but with so many responsibilities with my grandchildren and grown children, it is going slow.
I do however, plan to get a temporary layout setup to run just what I have at present.
I have been away from trains for many years until I joined the first train forum (Yahoo based prewar). Between here and there, I have already learned a lot.
Do need to see what controller to use. At present, only have the one DCC HO loco. Rest of HO locos are just runners. Though, I am thinking now that sounds aren't all that important right now. Maybe buy a loco later with it incorporated in it.
I plan on a mixed layout with prewar Lionel, Marx; and HO. Have seen it done many times with Lionel Standard gauge, Lionel O gauge, American Flyer; etc.
I thank everyone for their responses. Each and every posting always adds something more to help me. Thanks again to everyone who responded.
