hi im starting my first dcc layout and i was wondering if you can control the turnouts from the e-z command and if so how


          thanks for everybodys help

I believe the EZ Command can not activate switches. Bachmann makes switches with decoders, but you will need a different DCC system. I'm not too fond of DCC operated switches, since you have to remember all those different numbers, as opposed to using your finger.

so should i get a boster cause i plan on running  a-b-a set plus 2 or 3 more trains but not all the same time

Hunt's above comment is right on.

I use 6 turnout and 2 DCC engines and one DC engine at the same time. 

Caveat running small loop within a larger loop and several turnouts to work tracks.   

Command DCC powered system - all works grand. 

Try with what you have before you buy more power.

what would be the best way to control the turnouts automaticly

My reply again would be the E-Z Command; have the Dynamis but for me the Command works best.
