How many people are interested in my DCC project? Please email me with an
interest level (0-5)
0. I think it's a silly idea.
1. Yes it's interesting but I'm happy with standard LEGO trains.
2. If I could buy it ready-made and it was cheap, I might get it.
3. I want one ready-made, price not an issue (within reason).
4. I want one and I'm prepared to put it together myself.
5. I want one and I want to help develop the project.
If you don't know what I'm talking about go to

Note that 'putting it together' includes opening up the LEGO train motor and
installing a DCC decoder.

| (...) I'll choose #3 as well. It has been a lifelong dream to have several trains running on a big layout controled from my computer. If the process of putting it togther only requires minimal "amatuer" soldering, I may be up to putting it (...) (25 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) Put me in at #3. Of course, if you develop this and sell it, I will finally have to give up using 12V track and accessories and buy 9V. That is, unless you also devlop a version using the 12V center rails :) (...) -- Thomas Main (...) (25 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

| It's a great idea. One Lego should have come up with by now. (3). Perhaps Lego will copy your design and make their own, the same way they stole your crossing track;) BTW, can it be Mac compatible? -John (...) (25 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

| Put me down as a 3. I assume that DCC decoders are cheap enough that I could equip ~15 motors and not choke at the expense. (Forgive my naivete about model railroading - I haven't bought a non-Lego train since the mid '70s.) (25 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

| Hi Matthew, You can put me down for No.3 as well, provided the final product is as durable as Lego and comes with a replacement warranty. Mark H. (...) (25 years ago, 13-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

| Hi Put me also to level 3 I did some searches on the internet some month ago. Here a good comparison. It seems to me that the mrc stuff could be a solution for our lego train problems. Daniel Heppler Burgdorf, Switzerland Matthew Bates schrieb in (...) (25 years ago, 15-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

| Hi Matt, Sorry I am late replying to your survey, I haven't had computer access for about a week. Put me down for number 3 or 4. In one of the recent model train magazines they were advertising a voltage regulator, which could limit DCC output to (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)
