Zephyr DCS52
I haven,t finished my n scale layout yet. I really like the Zephyr dcs52 because you can use it for several things. I really like it because so smale and light. It looks like it will fit in my small layout very nice. Vavel Wright

Digitrax Zephyr Express
As my first venture into the world of DCC, I am pleased with how easy it was to get up and running with this system. Also very happy with Yankee Dabbler's quick delivery.

Nifty unit
Got the Starter Set to move to DCC and take advantage of some new locomotives. Nice, simple and easy-to-use out-of-the-box.

Wonderful Addition
This is a wonderful addition to my trian experience. It is my first venture into the DCC world. It was simple and easy to setup and get started and adds so much more enjoyment to my layout. I'm looking forward to all this product will bring since it looks like it is quite expandable for options that it will run.

Zephyr Express
Works great so far. I am still learning what this can do. It will run my old dc locomotives while I convert them to DC. The ones I have converted run great.

New DCC Controller
As this is my 1st attempt at DCC, I’m not sure how this product compares to other DCC controllers but for me this controller was easy to set up as the manual is very well written for a beginner. I really like how easy it was to hook up my main bus wires and away I went running trains. I borrowed 2 locomotives and was told I could change their road numbers and within a few minutes I was running both engines. From my brief experience, I would definitely recommend this controller.

DCC Control
I have not set this up yet, all the reviews are positive. My layout is n-scale on a 4x8, controller is for trains only. I have separate power for all other accessories.
