thanx, gentlemen (and ladies, if that be the case); your replies are extremely helpful. i forgot to throw in this codacil: i have a loop on one of my layouts, but i always run it as if it were one of my normal shelf switching layouts. I.E., unless i am testing a loco, i run everything at slow speeds, back and forth shunting. therefore, since i can't control 2 plus locos independently UNLESS i "loop" one at a steady speed, then the EZcommand doesn't seem to be useful to my style of rrd'g. and, unless i am misreading the replies, very few inexpensive dcc units will give me the control that i need. (shades of two-hand piano!!!) so i think i'll stick with the 2 separate dc power packs that i have, until a cheaper tethered walkaround (or radio control) comes on the market....WAIT UP!!! I just had a brainflash, thanks to the discussion!!! WHAT IF: i keep my block control, but split up the blocks so approximately half go to one loco, half to the other (or 3 general blocks with 3 locos und so weiter) and i get 2 or 3 SEPARATE Bachmann's??? and maybe a few DPDT toggles, to TRADE OFF current between blocks, so i can "switch crews" onto different blocks??? YIKES!!! <br />
