enduringexp: BRAVO! bccammack's opinion isn't worthless, it's his opinion which he stated as such and didn't flame anyone else in the process. rororo: I don't know if you remember the flap when Cadilacs were supplied with Chevy engines. And believe it or not many gm products use interchangeable parts, to include chasis. While some of your statements are valid, I have to respectfully disagree with others. There are litterally dozens of instances when a factory manufactures a name brand and a generic brand using the exact same materials, equipment and procedures. I used to do the purchasing for a summer camp and would always get a good deal when chips were delivered from the manufacturer in the wrong bags, same stuff, different price. I don't think anyone who has posted here expects the Bachmann system to have the same features as Digitrax, NCE or any others. These folks know the limitations of the system (like you said, you get what you pay for) and want to know if it does what is advertsied. I dare say you are condemning a system sight unseen, without anything to back it up instead of the price. Often times, new technology is introduced in somewhat higher capacity things. As the technology grows, simpler stuff is introduced. I dare say my 49.00 VCR works just fine. I don't expect it to do the things of the $400 models, but I have had no problem with it. It does what I want it to do. You are right, there is probably only $30.00 of electronics in it, but so what? It works. BTW: My mechanic friend is the one that suggested that I get parts for the Mazda pickup to put on my old Ford Ranger - they were the same - and cheaper.
