Basic DCC train control system

If you know what it is you want from your train control system then this is a good starting point. I found the instruction manual to be lacking but there are many youtube videos that will help to get started. You will need many more items if you want to control turnouts or train signals but to get a train running in dcc this is all you need.

Digitrax Evolution Express Advanced 5/8 Amp Starter Set

The Digitrax Evolution Express Advanced 5/8 Amp Starter Set is an excellent choice for DCC control. Set up is not complicated although the instruction manual assumes the user knows the subject and has trains ready to run.
I have found the controller easy to handle and the trains respond quickly to it.
One negative is that the leads supplied for the controller are rather short, less than a metre which is not handy if you have a large layout.
