Bachmann EZ Command and DCC

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Nigel and Mike,
Thanks for your responses.  I've been looking into what kind of DCC system to try.  I don't know for sure if I would like DCC, and that's why I've been looking for a cheaper system to try.  I believe I may try the Bachmann system since it is simple, and simplicity is what I'm after.  
 
Thanks!

Hi Ben;

I have a Bachmann EZ Command DCC system and a Digitrax Radio Chief. The 
Bachmann system is made by Lenz, like the Atlas system. It is more limited, 
but will control most of the sounds on QSI® (BLI, Atlas, P2K) locomotives. 
It is only capable of running 9 DCC equipped locomotives, programmed to 
addresses 1 thru 9. It is capable of basic consisting and programming the 
addresses. It is not capable of altering CV values.

You should be able to find a new one for far less then $100. It is a great 
system for a 4x8 layout. I would recommend it as your first DCC system. 
Bachmann has announced numerous accessories for it, which are due late this 
year.
