Yes

Thanks so much - I agree. My question is more of a technical question. Trying to understand if any of the decoders were so basic that they did not support CV reads at all.

Are there any old Bachmann function decoders that do not support CV read?

Possibly the old Lenz decoders? I have an old Bachmann decoder (small black), and when I attempt a CV read in service mode it is not responding. I was wondering if that is by design.

Are there any Bachmann decoders that don't support CV read?

I understand some Bachmann locos come with the loco address set to a number other-than 3.  Some products have the address set to the number painted on the loco shell.

Can someone please tell me which Bahcmann products come with the decoder NOT set to address 3?

The EZ App locos are 1-amp, so it is probably the same.

If you need more than one Amp, you could consider one of the new BlueRailDCC boards. They are generally designed to control a DCC sound decoder, but you can also use them without a decoder (in basic mode). You have to get on their mailing list to get one (inventory is limited by CV19)

Wow - looking forward to these becoming available.

Having a discussion with a friend. Has Bachmann ever made any DCC locos that do not have a replaceable shrink-wrap decoder in it?  Where the DCC decoder is integrated into a PC circuit board (without a separate decoder involved)? I imagine this could be the case with N scale, but I'm not sure.

BlueRail has been developing a next-generation board (BlueRail is not the manufacturer) which is nearing release. If you used their contact page to send them a communication, then you should be receiving information on that soon.

Thank you so much

Is there a site with shunting puzzle layout designs for EZ Track?

I'm familiar with Wymann.info (Inglenook and Timesaver). I was wondering if anyone ever made designs specifically for EZ Track?

I'd like to get some EZ Apps. I have a question. Does anyone ever have their shell off and know how much space is available between the shell and the circuit board? 5mm? 10mm?  Do any EZ App locos have more headroom above the board than others? Or is there basically no overhead space on any of them?

The instructions for the turnout have a wiring diagram:

I think the idea is you power it using AC jacks on any power supply (like the Bachmann power supply).

Some MRC DC power supplies generate pulsed power spikes that manage to slip through the h-bridge in the EZ App board and can damage components.  The EZ App userguide recommends you avoid MRC power supplies to power the rails.  I would use a Bachmann power supply to be safe.

I am interested in EZ Command and have a couple of questions:

How many volts does the EZ Command put out?

Is the EZ Command used for HO and N? Or is there a second version for N?

Thank you.

I was curious about the exact spec of the DCC signal that comes out of the EZ Command, which from what I understand can be either connected to a track (to control 2 trains) or can be connected to a 5amp power booster.

It says 1 AMP. Is this 1 AMP peak or 1 AMP continuous?

Is it 14 volts?

Thank you.

Thanks. I'm referring to the DC Thomas (without sound)
