Hi all,
I'm debating between just buying a Sprog 3 (the 3 amp version) and an NCE Power Cab with USB interface. I'm basically wanting to run 2 or 3 HO trains at once and maybe control a few turnouts. I will buy a boosters as I add turnouts, but as far as functionality, is there any difference between the NCE USB interface and a Sprog? I would normally just go with the Sprog and use WiThrottle, but I'm liking the idea of physical buttons, especially when something goes wrong, but also for my father-in-law who is an old school model railroader.
It seems like the last time I looked into this, the NCE USB interface was a one way street, but it looks like they may have released a new version (7) that opens up more possibilities. Is that right? Or am I way off base?
Thanks!
Brandon
