When I look through the pages of any model railroading magazine, it makes absolutely no difference to me, if the topic being discussed refers to DC; or, DCC operations! I'm interested in modeling being done; or, what ever else is being discussed. I don't get where you guys come up with the idea that an operating system makes any difference? DC; or, DCC is a method of control and a personal choice. You don't like DCC, who cares? I can relate to DC, I ran my layout for 10-12 years via DC. If a layout is operated via DCC; or, DC I may not even notice!
