Hello, I am getting back into model trains for the first time since I was a kid decades ago and so much has changed.
I've got my track layout all setup with HO E-Z Track and now I'm ready to power it, but I'm not exactly sure what I need.
From what I've learned, I think that DCC is the way to go.
I have 2 independent track layouts that do not cross or connect to each other. Can I use one E-Z Command Plus DCC Controller to control the trains on both tracks?
If so, is that all I need besides the locomotives and the trains themselves?
Thank you for your help!
As long power is supplied to each layout from one power supply you should be good to go.
Yes, but you will only be able to control one train at a time. So you can set an engine and train running at a set speed on one track, and then leave it running and then call up the ID of the other engine and then run that. You can switch back and forth, leave one running on it's own while directly controlling the other. To control both at the same time, you'll need to add a second, plug-in throttle to connect to your DCC system, or have one of the DCC systems that come with two throttles built in.
