Too many questions bundled together. I think I know what you are asking.
A EZ Command controller will run a Bachmann Tsunami loco. Probably two.
My NCE Power Cab has about the same power and can run three.
No other power pack needed.
Take some time to read up about DCC. There is a ton of info on the Internet and the Bachmann documents have many answers. Take time to look though the Parts and Service page. The manuals are there.

New Guy-

The convention is to avoid multiple posts in order to avoid plugging up the system with repetitions.

Who are They Say or I Heard?
What are the alleged issues that you heard?
What are the issues you have?
Usually when I see a question like, the user has very little knowledge of how DCC locos work.

Please provide more info on exactly what you have done.
Yes, an occasional loco will usually have a gear or motor issue and Bachmann does have a replacement program. From all I have heard, the locos with on board Tsunami operate very well.
I have the 4-6-0 with Tsunami and some Spectrums that I installed my own Tsunami.

You still have not said what your problem is or I missed it. There are some here who might be able to help you. Forget what others saay. State your problem with the loco.

Try to keep in mind that people often post here if they are having a problem with a particular item they purchased but rarely if ever post if they have no problems.  So if you see a few postings indicating a particular locomotive has problems, think about all the people who bought the same locomotive and had no problems.  Or to put it another way, if I were to refuse to buy any brand of automobile that people had had trouble with, I would spend a lot of time walking.

As I see it, the only way you might have screwed up by buying a 2-10-0 would be if you were wanting to buy an 0-4-0.

I too, do not understand what your post was asking.

I have one 2-10-0 and am very pleased with it.

Enough, that I am considering ordering another.

I wish you would describe the problem you are experiencing so that:

a.  We would all know what the problem actually is.

b. So that someone could help you solve the problem.
