Hi all, I live in Australia and have had my EZ-DCC for about 6-8 months now and find it great it is a fantastic introduction into DCC and is quite suited to my point to point On30 Australian Logging Exhibition Layout. I have found I can run two DCC locos with ease on the layout and at times have run an analogue loco at the same time however this can require a third eye, but the unit seems to cope with it quite well. IN REGARDS TO DECODER CHIPS my sources here tell me any brand of chip can be used as long as it has the standard 8 pin plug. With On30 locos 1.5 to 2amp or higher rated chips are adviseable, personally I have used digitrax or bachmann chips. With modern HO locos apparently 1-1.5amp are substantial enough unless you're running a huge loco that draws alot of current. with older locos you may need to do a little research but they do tend to draw more current as I have been told by a good friend here so you may need a high rated chip e.g. 2amp or higher. In any case I find the EZ-DCC great and I think it's worth an A+++++++++
