Love my Bachmann EZ Command DCC!!

[DONFLA]

I was in DCC before with a MRC Command 2000, one of the first ones. Nice thing about that system it came with 3 throddles. Pretty easy to use. never had a problem. Sold it when I torn down the old layout.

When I started my new shelf layout, I went for simple althought I could afford a more expensive system like the Zepher which would have been my choice. I don;t care about programming CV's etc etc.,  computor interfaces and all that other stuff.

 I just wanted to hit one button to call up a loco, turn the throdtle and away I go. Hit the function button, hit the bell, hit the horn.  Hit another button and call up another loco and away I go.  SOOOOOO  Easy.  The sound works great on all of them.  Like a kid in a candy store.  Want 5 locos, 7 locos, can program a button for each of them.  Does it get any easier. To me , its more fum running trains this way.  I love it.  Maybe old age is setting in LOL  Don't want to deal with alot of buttons. Change this, change that,  I like it the way it is.

 My 2 cents,  DON

Don,

That's terrific!   I'm glad the E-Z Command is working well for you.  Not everyone has to drive a Lexus when an Echo will do just fine sufficing their needs.

I used a Bachmann EZ-Command for 2 years and reaaly enjoyed it. I still have it standing by in case it's needed. Now I'm using a Digitrax Zephyr to drive myself nuts.

Have to agree. It is VERY EZ to use. I wonder if the Dynamis is as simple.
I'm getting to the point where I want to change CV's, but the EZ Command has served me well.
(and the price was most excellent!)

Can't beat a freebie, can you. I just gave another brand new one (still in it's packaging) away a few days ago to a chap in Maryland.

Hi TOM. 

Not sure if I told you this in the past,  but I road the New York Central from Union Station in New York city to Utica, New York (where I was born and raised) quite a few times.  The trip thru the Mohawk Valley is beautiful. I have always had the thought in my mind about modeling the Station and Yard at Utica and the various service buildings.  Maybe need to take some photos the next time I go up for a visit. Theres a big bridge that goes over the tracks near the station.  I could get some really good photos there.

 Jeff   giving the EZ Commands away????  Did you steal a bunch of them????   HAAAAAAAAA   just kidding.   I think I only paid like $59.00 for mine new. Yes   they are cheap but you know, if mine ever has problems,  just throw it away and get a new one   LOL  forget about fixing it.  I love the *** thing.  I think its time to buy some more sound engines.

 By the way, my present layout is just a 2' by 8' point to point shelf layout operated just by me. So the Bachmann works great for me.

Regards,  DON

Totally agree. I have 2 on my layout. Take themtothe clubas well. Works consistantly. Bought a Dynamis as welland also very happy.

Because of the cost to get  items to South Africa, these have been very cost effective and value added items.

I have dropped one, spilt coca-cola on one,and after aclean,they just keep on working. Like an SD40t-2 or SD9.

I DID trade you some trees and stuff for it...

Speaking of which, do you have any more of those trees?

Just needed a used DCC Booster, some loconet and I can CLICK my trains (Off the computer mouse) to do what I want em to do in the other room.

 

NOW that is easy.

 

Heck... maybe if that fancy Positive Train Control kicks in across the USA, I could let the train crew nap a while I drive it from the house computer over the internet.

Glad to hear so many good things about the ez command. Im getting one for christmas along with the GP50 for my 4X8, so im pretty physced that it is a good system.

The optimum would be to use another setup like the NCE power cab to set the engines up. And a Bachman EZ with power boosters to run things.  All Bachman needs to do is add extra buttons for function keys and they'd be all set.
