I just purchased a 3 truck shay with sound and wanted to purchase a controller to operate as a DCC unit. I would prefer a wireless solution. At present I am just setting up a stationary trestle with the engine. So it would be nice to have it go through its paces with a wireless unit. Will the EZ command BAC36505 work with my train? Will I be able to perform programing with this unit? Will I need to purchase anything else?
Thanks,
Manny
I want to have the system setup on a trestle. I will have rollers for all the drive wheels and the overall length should only be about 36 to 40 inches long. I would like to run the smoker. So what would you recommend as a booster? I read somewhere where you have to be careful not to go over 21 volts as it will shut down the decoder?
thanks,
Manny
Dear Manny,
For wireless control, your best bet would be to contact Don Sweet at New England RCS:

He's a great guy, and he'll be happy to help!
Have fun!

I just received the EZ Command BAC36505 wireless system. I have the 3 truck Shay setup on a circular track that has a 4 foot diameter. The unit works the train without any problems. I am not pulling any cars so not sure how much power it has but it works with the one loco and will do fine when it is on a trestle.
