Walkaround Cabs for the ESU Ecos 50200
Posted by EduardoNogueira on Sunday, January 16, 2011 1:17 PM

Hi!

I’m starting my first real layout after a few tries and some dioramas and I will go for DCC, of course.

Living in Europe, the access to USA DCC systems is easy, but I also look up for European brands. In my search I’ve found the ESUS Eco 50200.

Does anyone know this system? What’s your opinion about it?

And the most important thing, what do you know about the possibilities of having one walkaround cab, besides the central unit with the wonderful color lcd?

 

Thank you!

Eduardo (Portugal)

For what I read on the internet, the Iphone (or Ipod) might be a good walkaround cab for this system.

Does anyone has done this? Any ideas?

 

Thank You

Hi Eduardo,

The ECoS 2 is a nice system, and the recent software update has made it even better.

On walkaround cabs, these are available. They include radio control, but also the ECoSlink connection is available, that allows wired control, from different points along your layout.

Check:
