I love the Piko Central Station. Works great for small to Medium sized DCC railroads. I also use the Massoth Navigator & Massoth R/C Receiver instead of Piko's version's as it has a few more features. You can't beat the value and is easy to expand. If you deceide DCC is not for you, you did not tie up a fortune in it. You can also program and change CV's on the main which you can't do with LGB Central Station 55005 or 55006.
