I don't want to start a fight or anything. This is a naive question. I have never run or even run on a RR using DCC. Never tuched a DCC controller. I don't really entirely understand its advantages.
Right now our line runs on track power and wireless remote. I put 20 volts on the track and leave it there, and then each loco has a wireless receiver in it, either an aristo 75 mhz TE or a QSI/Airwire.
What would DCC do for me that track power and wireless remote does not?
More control over loco functions?
The ability to throw turnouts with the remote?
More consistent range?
PS. I can see why people like batteries, but it's not for me--I've got no interest in going to battery, please don't tell me how great it is
