Hi, As my planned new layout will be era 7, I’ve no real need for either the easterner or Scotsman sets which are the only two currently available (pre-order due in the summer) that are DCC fitted. However, they do come with an oval of track and ext pack 1. track packs 1-5 don’t include the original oval it appears, so is that to be bought separately? if the track packs 2-5 are ordered (spring eta) and I go for one of the two sets above there’s still a gap of a few months before a working layout is in my possession. so, can the completed fully extended layout be ordered without buying a set? Then, once I’ve got the basics done I can see which DCC era7 loco is soonest to arrive, (HM7k allowing.) I think fishguyoz alluded to self chipping an 08 but a, I’m not really familiar with the concept and b, I’d prefer the manufacturer to do it given the price I’m paying and for their expertise.
