Not sure if I see the point of going to the trouble of using DCC on a layout with only one locomotive (if that's what you mean).

My railway (still in the development stage) is small and will only ever have one loco 'in steam', it being a single track system. All of the points are within easy reach and can be operated by hand.

I can certainly see the point of using DCC on a large layout with plenty of engines and turnouts.

Why not avoid the initial large cash outlay involved when going DCC and concentrate on getting the basics right first? Then, when you decide that you want to expand your railway; I would have thought that that was the time that you go over to DCC.
