Robert,

I've been using the Commander for over 2 years and have never needed a booster. I thought that I would at first (I thought a lot of things when I first got DCC.[:I])

I run 2 - 3 trains usually at most. How may locos are you planning to run at the same time.

The Commander only has 5 functions and 2-digit addressing but other than that it's been a fine system.

Have fun.
