Hi, I new for model trains. Can any one tell me how to choose
the dcc control kit and the dcc decoders? I do not have much
budget.
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum!
DCC is usually associated with 2 rail trains, such as HO, N, Z,
and G scales. "0" gauge 3 rail trains use a different system.
There are 2 main systems being used, one made by Lionel, and the
other by MTH.
What gauge and manufacturer trains do you have?

I plan to buy a PIKO HO loco, and use GM dcc02 control set, and
use laisdcc decoders. How is this solution?

This forum is for 3 rail "0"gauge trains, and the electronics
used are different from DCC, although some of the functions
controlled may be similar. It is suggested that you ask your
questions on a forum dedicated to the scale and type of control
system you are interested in. Such a forum is here:
