[quote user="passenger1955"] Thanks, I'm learning a lot. So on this point: "From the command station the signal does not have enough current to run a train. The booster "boosts" the signal and outputs it to the rails or any other device that requires DCC power to operate. It does not boost the voltage of the command station's signal. It increases the amount of available current that can be drawn by decoders or accessories" Bachmann EZ Command is a 1 AMP command station that you can connect to a layout (and operate a couple of locos), or you can connect it to a booster (and operate more locos).  So is the EZ Command classified as a "command station" - one that has just enough power to lightly operate as standalone (without a booster), and because it doesn't exceed 1 amp, it also fits the spec and has the option of operating with a booster (in the way a command station as laid out in the NMRA spec normally would)?   <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] That sounds about right. It is similar in function to the NCE Power Cab (2 amp system), except the NCE system is more functional... The NCE PH-Pro has a conformance warrant as well... Having operated layouts with Bachmann Ez command, NCE and Digitrax, NCE was the easiest throttle to use.
