I still had my old original Bachmann DC unit and I just use it for my accessory power.
Using the accessory terminals on it works fine.

The Dynamis is a good starter set, with one caveat. It is pricey to expand.

Yes, it's pricey to expand but all of the systems are. One way to beat the power upgrade cost is to use a booster other than Bachmann's unit. Bachmann's hand helds and remote units are similarly priced to other manufacturers' equipment. I personally prefer RF remote to IR but IR can work just fine in the right space (i.e., not too huge, everything visible from at least one point, etc.)

i'd go with the dynamis. it will grow with you, some of the entry level dcc systems have very limited functionality, and you will quickly find that as you get more advanced they don't meet your needs. with dynamis, you should be able to get set up and running easily, then spend years discovering what its capabilities truly are.

I must be misapprehended. Is it really possible for Dynamis to run a
locomotive to a particular point and then stay there a while before
moving on? I didn't think that could be done.

That is what I said.
I know of no system that will do what he wants. All he has to do is read the Dynamis manual and he will see that it cannot be done.

OK. I have done that a number of times.
