Trains Layouts
Should I install DCC in my old HO locomotives?
I have 7 locomotives HO of different ages (no more than 10 years). Should I change my HO layout mainly train DCC or keep it as an analog tuning?
It depends on how big your design. If it is a small set-up you can not afford to change over. But if it's a great distribution would be much easier to do the operations. I assume you are trying to run the 7 engines In turn, this can be done easily with DCC. You say your locomotives are less than ten years old. Depending on the manufacturer should be able to add most DCC if not all of them. There are plenty of after market makers for today DCC. If you have a decent hobby shop half in your area who can help you choose the correct driver for each motor. Wiring of the track is much easier than wiring trains. I say go for it.
