At the age of 68 I decided to build a model railway something I have wanted to do for a while. I bought a Hornby basic DCC set as a starter and later invested in a basic EZ Dynamis system, (No probox). I have now read about the Ultima system but cannot find out what in non technical parlance what are it's advantages never having used the probox. Can anyone tell me what advantages I get with the enhanced system over the basic and should I go ahead and buy what computer software I should use as I am aware that with the USB port I could connect a computer. My layout (track) is complete and 'am now concentrating on scenery. I am reasonably computer savvy. Any help would be much appreciated. DrJay
Sorry but that is a Bachmman UK product and this is the Bachmann US forum, so you may not get much help since most of us are from the US and not too familiar with that product also it may not even be available yet. Try ringing Bachmann UK for more information.
Just checked the Bachmann UK website and the Ultima system seems to be available, but there seems to be limited information on the site on the differences . There are a number of videos explaining the Dynamis system and it's operation & accessories . The gentleman will probably be well served by contacting
Bachmann UK Plc. as you suggested directly . John2.

The folks in Bachmann UK have no additional info to what is available in http://www.dynamisdcc.com/
BTW - JMRI software does not yet support the Bachmann Dynamis Ultima.
