  1. Hello Ladies and Gentlemen. I'm also new to G-Scale railroading, but have been doing HO with DCC control for the past ten years. I believe that at this point I'm proficient with DCC, but I'm somewhat overwhelmed with the number of power options available in G-Scale railroading. At this point I'm not sure whether battery power would be best, or simply proceed with DCC power for my latest adventures in this wonderful hobby of ours. I've been 'listening' to various opinions and comments in several forums, but I think this is perhaps the best place for information on the subject that I've found thus far. I like the idea of not having to clean track, but conversely, the idea of having to purchase multiple batteries and charges does not appeal to me at this point, recognizing however, that ultimately that may be the way to go. Truly, my highest priority is reliability. At this time, I have about 60 feet of LGB brass track (both straight and curved), a Bachmann, 10th Anniversary "Big Hauler", which I love, and several pieces of USA Trains rolling stock. I've tested my engine using a DC power unit, but that was only to see my newest locomotive at work. I will continue to purchase more track, a few switches, and more rolling stock, but I'm waiting on the final power and control system, until I have better understanding of the issues involved. Any pointers and advise will be greatly appreciated. I'm glad that I've found this forum and am looking forward to hearing from you guys and gals. p.s.: Rayman4449. if you're reading this posting, I wish to tell you that I'm very impressed with your several locomotive upgrades and have watched a number of your videos on Youtube. I love the Hudson's videos and the things that you've done with them. I'll be contacting you in reference to upgrading my Annie with a better smoke unit, sound, etc. Warm regards.
