Looking for the best DCC system to run G gauge layout. What system do you recommend? I am running some higher amperage units, such as the USA Trains twin engine GP-7 which requires a 10 amp system. Looking also for a decoder that will run control and sound. Layout is a double loop that measures 27' x 28' and has several switches. When you need that kind of amperage it gets very confusing as to what system will wok the best.
I would go with either NEC or Lenz. Both have 10 amp Boosters for the power hungry Large-Scale engines. For Decoders your best options IMHO are Lenz, Zimo, TCS G8 or Wow 501 series, Digitrax and many more international DCC companies. Dennis
I have an NEC PowerCab starter set that I bought several years back for HO scale and didn't end up using it. I am also building an HO ceiling layout in a different room I planned to use it on. Perhaps I should buy a 10amp kit and keep them the same. That way my old brain only has to learn one system? There are a couple manufacturers there for decoders that I don't recognize. Will have to do some research. I would very much like to have sound as well as control, so no matter which way I go, it won't be cheap I am sure. Thanks you the advice Dennis!
