I have a question about the new Bachmann DCC - I'm interested in buying one, but the limitations of 9 DCC and one analogue loco are putting me off. What I'd like to know is this: What would happen if I plugged a handheld throttle like a Roco Lokmaus into the unit? I know it would work as both use the Lenz system bus for communications, but would it allow me to address more than 10 locos? The lokmaus can talk to addresses 1-99 when used with the other equipment (booster, transformer) from the Roco digital start set, so could it still talk to these addresses when used as an auxiliary throttle on the Bachmann system? Just thinking this would be a cheap way of overcoming the limitations if it works. My fleet currently numbers around 25+ locos, and though I only run three or so on the layout at once it would be a real pain to have to reprogram addresses when I swapped in a loco not numbered 1-10, hence my question!
