The Bachmann DCC system has just been announced over here. Apparently it's been developed with Lenz, and will be able to handle up to 10 locos, including one DC loco. There's more info at www.mremag.demon.co.uk which should be of interest/help.

Bachmann announced at the Vegas trade show that they were going to be releasing a new DCC system this summer or fall. They haven't released any information on it yet however.
You can always cannibalize one of Bachmann's pack to track connectors to hook into the existing EZ Track power input. Frankly, I had enough problems trying to keep power flowing on EZ Track on straight DC. I have no idea how anyone would be able to run DCC on it for long, what with all the rail gaps and shaky connections.

I don't think Bachmann is into making DCC control stuff. I went to their website (http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/index.html) and did a search on DCC. I got 187 hits, all were DCC ready locos.
I'm sure that someone on the forum uses DCC with EZ track and will be able to help.

Does Bachmann make it's own DCC control for use with it's EZ track??? It looks impossible to hook up regular DCC to it (like digitrax), with that little hook-up spot on the re-railer is (you need a special hook up to use it, too).
