On the fence

Dean:
I have over 60 locomotives. ( I know, I have a problem  :D ) When I went to RailPro the plan was to install RailPro into locomotives that did not have decoders already installed. That plan went out the window. I found that I was only operating the RailPro equipped locomotives. Then I started replacing the DCC decoders with RailPro decoders.

So many locomotives; so little time, and money.

gzygadlo:
Thanks for all the info.

I looked more at RailPro today and the more I like without the programming of DCC and needing a programming track.  Now will come the determination also which engines get it and which ones don't.  I'm a big fan of Providence & Worcester so all of those will get them.  Have always bought mine DC or DCC ready so I didn't have to rip decoders out if I decided on RailPro which I found about a year ago.  You are right if you bug DC and add the decoder later it does come out to about the same.

Just looked at my own inventory and I'm ~40 engines.

I never had DCC until I retired and went with CVP Easy wireless. I liked it until I was at a show and a gentleman had RailPro and loved it. Watching him consist 2 locomotives was easy and effortless. Sold the house and layout including RailPro. Next house and layout and I was given a Power Cab by NCE and I hated it. Went back to RailPro using DeadRail.

This layout is RailPro battery and I ordered a ESU Cab Control because I also pre ordered the ProtoThrottle by ISE. Something that does not work with RailPro and I do not have or know of anyone with the expertise to have them work together. Yet!

I will tell you there is nothing easier than RailPro, nothing as intuitive or simple as RailPro. The sounds are now as good as some of the ESU Loksound, but sound is an individual taste, your mileage may vary. Why would someone so wishwashy about control systems encourage you to move to RailPro?Because it is as good and easy as everyone says!

 Well now, if anyone is on the fence, there is on eBay a RailPro RPK-1 set with two LM-2s modules and supposedly new old dealer stock. Oh ya ! listed at $250. ..  Surely ought to be worth that or at least a bid?  Easy to find on eBay, search RailPro.  The old fardt in Arid-Zona.  8)

That's well worth it.  Great way to start out with Railpro!  You can get everything you need for a good price.  I'd jump on it but I'm good with controllers and modules.
