Getting Back into Railroading after 30 or so years

I have one of the wire leads DCC modules, its pretty small, but I think you are right the RDC is the most roomy, although I would like to make the PA/PB unit and put the DCC in the booster and they would just be a permanent unit. Maybe that will be the second one, and I can play with sound too.

Yeah about the sound, for all the expense and effort to make an old one sound half way decent, might want to consider getting a new Broadway Limited. I've seen them selling for right around $200. I mean the sound decoder alone is going to run $70-$150.

This is true although I would hate to strip off all that nice looking paint on a new model since it will be repainted anyway. But first step is a basic DCC decoder and sound can be a challenge later

Ha! brake fluid baths work on old and new paint.
