What can i do with my old bachmann easy command?

[NIKOLAI]

we have upgraded to digitrax and still have our bachmann easy command i was wondering if there is any way to (use it as a throttle) or any other way

You could use it to run trains around the Christmas tree?

Seeing as you do not want to mix DCC systems I would suggest that if you have a separate test track for running in engines it would be fine. Or as already suggested use it for your Christmas tree display set.

Hahaha the old train running round the christmas tree

Well,not as a throttle anyway, BUT

~You could keep it as CUDAKEN can attest- your Digitrax may give out and you may be glad you have the EZC to fall back on to run traisn while yours gets fixed or get a new one..

 

~you could keep it for the children or grandhcildren to run trains on a small layout. they won't care it is a EZ C adn will be "cehap"s set up for them in DCC.

~That, and what I AM doing...the under the tree layout in Nscale now converted to DCC with the B EZC.

~ OR give it away here to someone who can use it and wants to convert to DCC. {you cannot sell on here ,but there is no rule against giving it away}

No it could not be used for a throttle for the Digitrax.   As the others suggest it could be used for portable, show, or Christmas tree train type layouts.   I have MRC-2000 that does that.    You could give it to the children for their "layout" (that's what I did with my 2nd MRC-2000).   You could donate it to someone who doesn't have one.   The Youth in Model Railroading group is starting to get some donated.   We turn them around to student's who show a genuine interest that we feel will make good use of them.

One of the most common questions on this board is:  Should I upgrade to DCC? I want to but can't afford it. You could help them try it out.

Do what I did, sell it on Ebay. I got back at least half of what I paid for it.

Nikolai,

If you do decide to sell it, let me know.  I may be interested in it for MY Christmas tree.

Use your power supply from your old computer. It has both 5V and 12V.
