General Discussion / Bachmann EZ command (kaput)
March 10, 2019, 04:17:43 PM
Does anyone know how to reset the EZ command system?  Mine stopped working.  It will power up, but won't control locos.  I'm an experienced modeler and I've tried everything.  I have good, clean track....clean wheels....everything was working until it stopped.  I don't need a lot of suggestions, just a knowledgable answer or if I should send it into Bachmann.  Lifetime warranty, I hope.
Thanks

Large / servicing a G scale locomotive

We have a Bachmann 2-6-0 steam loco at our club, used for our train show.  Can anyone point me in the direction of some instructions on cleaning/lubing the engine?
Thanks

Has anyone used an AR-1 for a simple point-to-point trolley operation?  I have opto-sensors on order to put at each end and wire according to the instructions.
I would also like the trolley to pause at each end for a few seconds.  Would I need to add relays for that?  Thanks for any help and I would prefer not to have a lot of other ideas shared with me.

I really enjoyed my EZ command for a couple of years, but then, one day it just quit working.  The lights come on, but as soon as I assign any of the 1-10 buttons, it shuts down.  I've invested in a Digitrax system now.  I guess the couple of hundred bucks I spent on the EZ command controller and walkaround add on Throttle were worth it, just not sure.

HO / EZ command walkaround throttle problems
February 25, 2013, 10:52:34 PM
I have been using EZ command with success for 3 years.  Recently, I added a walk around companion throttle.  It worked flawlessly when connected directly to the controller.  I wanted to operate from another location on the layout so I purchased the remote connector panel (with cable).  I installed it according to directions (although quite simple) and plugged in across the layout.  Some of the locomotives worked, but the forward direction light did not light any longer (locos still run) and several of locos didn't light up or run.  I tried plugging the companion back into the controller directly and still have problems as described above.  I tried powering everything off, unplugging and plugging, etc.  I also tried the second port for the IO connection.  No luck.
Is there a reset for the controller or companion.  The controller still works fine by itself.
Thanks for any help you may provide.

Howdy,
How long is the connector cable on these units?
Thanks

General Discussion / DCC question

I'm new and was wondering about the E-Z Command system.  Does the hand held controller also power the track, or do you need a separate dedicated power supply?
Thanks
