Well my 2ยข
Either;
You have DCC and a computer (or paper tables) with much simpler wiring
OR
You have 'straight' DC with all those route blocks etc and a memory
night mare.
As for sound;
With DCC it is in the decoder so contained within the locomotive
WITH DC you have to send it thru the rails and wire your loco with
appropriate electron stuff
OR
You have it under the layout and have to have more little switches to
make the sound follow the train.
Maybe String Bob has the right idea??

Lately after reading the list, I find that perhaps a model
railroader has to have a degree in electronics, especially those
with DCC.
Many of the responders to that type question really does possess a
degree in electrical engineering.
I would imagine that is a good thing for all of us, otherwise how
would we find a solution to running our trains?
At age 82, I'll stay with my DC, my many electrical blocks and
switches and be happy!
