I have two basic starter DCC sets; Bachmann E-Z Command for my home & NCE Power Cab (my club uses for our show modules). I am trying to understand what upgrades I can purchase for each set. I want to stay with the individual name brands for each type (for the purchases). I need more power for additional trains which I will use. For the Bachmann I have the walk around but no power booster. For the NCE Power Cab, nothing extra as of yet. What should I purchase (staying in the acquired sets), to boost power, walk arounds, and OTHER items, etc. Are the generic products for NCE that then show e.g. Digitrax capable; a good way to go? I run "N" scale. thanx alot larry
Consider getting this for your home layout:

I have Power Cab and use the controller at our club where we have the Power Pro 5 amp system.
This forum is good but I suggest joining the Yahoo NCE DCC Group. The group is not run by NCE but a volunteer. I belong to the group and the group is quite active.

There are also Yahoo DCC groups for the various decoder brands.
Below is the link to the NCE site. They use plain English but a car load of patience is usually helpful with DCC. There are many possibilites with DCC.

This group is good for the EZ Command.
