DCC every time. It is more expensive to start but it saves in the long run by simplifying the wiring and all it's accompanying switches etc.

I agree with Tony, DCC every time. You save a lot in the long run, and have far more control over the trains without having to remember which switches need setting.
Anyone tried Hornby's new computer integrated system yet?

DCC for me! It is the ability to control an number of trains without lots of isolated sections.

Best wishes,
