Bachman DCC

coupla questions for tstage et al. ?#1: <br /> you say that the ezcommand will not let you tweak momentum and/or the starting speed. let's say your starting speed in the loco itself is nice, as manufactured, without decoder installed. specifically, the life-like gp-20's in N scale. Now drop a decoder into it, and run it with the Bachmann. Will this make the starting speed function worse than with regular DC? Or will the starting speed still be as good as the OEM? ?#2: the pictures of the ezcommand that i've seen in ads, show only one throttle knob. let's say i want to control 3 locos, each with it's own speed, braking and momentum, and sometimes within the same electrical block, on the same track. I definitely have no interest in having the other two locos just do boring uncontrolled loops, with no actual control. and i don't want them to come to abrupt emergency stops either. can i take two regular DC cab control walkaround units on cabled tethers, and hook them up with this basic DCC system, so that i can have control of all 3 locos, and still have DCC on all 3? Or am i mixing apples with oranges? if my question isn't clear, it's because the fledgling DCC industry is behaving exactly as the purveyors of quadrophonic sound did 40-odd years ago: make things difficult to understand, use jargon to stun your prey, then take the money and run.... hell of a way to run a railroad...that's why i appreciate these unbiased forums run by and for users.
