I have had a Bachmann E-Z Command system for the last 6 months or so. I opted to go for the Bachmann DCC Equipped locos (for AUD99.00 each they are great value), but my P2k loco still run OK if I use #10 (analog loco) on the controller, as do my 10-15 year old Athearn DC locos! Although I did notice that when a DC loco is being controlled, there can be a slowing of any DCC locos that are running. I beleive Bachmann is bringing out out a 5A power booster within the year (2005), and a second control panel to allow two person operation. Can't wait for that! I only have an 8 x 5 foot layout, and I find the E-Z Command system works well with that size layout. I have 4 DCC equipped locos, and the controller will run 3 locos at once - I reckon thats not bad for what is labelled a 'budget system'. One of the BIG advantages of any DCC system is that you don't have to have any isolating sections for standard operation (although it's handy to have one to de-consist locos!).
