Bachmann EZ Command and DCC

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

For low cost DCC, I HIGHLY recommend Atlas DCC...  The only issue I had was 
it would not program Broadway Limited engines, but I saw Tony's Train 
Exchange (look on the net) sells a device that boosts the Atlas signal to 
remedy this problem.

I used the Atlas DCC system with the BLI Class A, and was very satisfied.
I used it with the standard Atlas power pack that goes with the system, and 
was able to run 2 Life-Like Class Y3's, BLI Class A, and Bachmann Spectrum 
Class J, so I don't feel power was an issue.

It does allow for consisting and reprogramming.  It does not have all the 
extra function buttons of some systems, but seemed to be 95% as capable and 
easy to use, at about 25% or less cost of the bigger systems.

The hand units, and the base unit are very, very comfortable and intuitive 
to use.
They also have a feeling of very high quality.

I have no experience with the Bachmann system, though.
