Bachmann Dynamis Arrives in USA

[richg1998]

Just found this in the Yahoo Bachmann forums. Go join. I do not use the system but sometimes people ask about it. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Bachmann_DCC/

Look in the photos section.

The message.

Hi All,

I posted a photo of the new Dynamis in operation. Holding the unit in
my Right hand, I was able to run 3 DCC locos, using my Right thumb to
control the speed, and using the side-to-side motion of the toggle to
select the various locomotives. This is a real jewel. No other system
that I am aware of can change decoder CV values on the fly. (I have
been able to change the sound volume on different locos without taking
the other locomotives off the track). This is a super system!!!!

See a photo of actual one-hand operation in the photos section.

  It looks similar to the Loksound Ecos.

Digitrax, NCE, and I believe Lenz can all do this.

Heck, I think the old Atlas Master DCC system could do this.

Ops Mode Programming has been around for over a decade.  The person quoted who stated that they think this is new under the sun is not a very knowledgable person WRT DCC.

I think I read somewhere last year that it is a LokSound Ecos custom made for Bachmann.

The Dynamis and ECoS do not look similar to me, plus the ECoS is a console unit(they are supposed to come out with a handheld throttle to use with it at some point) and the Dynamis is a handheld unit that talks to a base station using infrared.

I saw the LokSound Ecos handheld at the Intermodellbau Dortmund, and they look very much like the Dynamis handheld. I think thy might even be identical.

Here is a picture from the ESU.eu site, it is the Ecos handheld.
