"John Turner" wrote I'm running a Lenz Compact too (although I'm still operating point motors using conventional DC) and am highly chuffed with its performance. Using good quality (Lenz Gold) decoders, stuff runs better than with ANY DC controller I've used in the past.
John.
Must admit, I'm on ZTC, but mostly everything else is Lenz bar the controllers due to price and quality.
I sort of had the ZTC setup handed to me so didn't get a choice - BUT I am VERY happy with it. I have tried using some of the Lenz controllers and didn't find them as easy to use as ZTC.
Still use Lenz decoders as they are better value for money and work better with Sprog and Decoder Pro.
Only downside to DCC is the extra expense. I would like to add a sound chip but the new 25 and 37s are £110 each. Halve that and I may think about it. Till then the CD player will do...
