can a HO E Z comand dcc without loco run on power lock track?
Syntax error. Or do you really want to run an EZ Command without a loco?
they make a e z command without a loco coming with it
For EZ Command to operate a locomotive 'tis necessary that there be a locomotive on the tracks. If a DC loco it needs be run on address #10. The other addresses need a decoder.
Gene
I believe you may run any DCC equipped locomotive with EZ Command. The type of track makes no difference.
Cheers,
Rich R
i understand a train needs to be the track DUR!!!!!!!!!!! will a e z command connect to power lock track
(tis is theee question thee is asking amongith you) HEEHEE
Oy veh. Thou shouldst not say what thou knowest not. What thou writest shows thee to be a jester. Look thee:
(tis is theee question thee is asking amongith you)
"tis" is a contraction of "this is" so what you have is "this is is."
"theee" is misspelled and ungrammatical. It should be "thy."
"thee" is also misspelled and ungrammatical. It should be "thou."
In this case "is" should be "art."
There is no such word as "amongith." Perhaps thou meanst "amongst."
In any event, wast thou speaking corectly, thy would be placing thy train on track where it should not go. The signals stand against thee. Thou hast not the high ball.
All this said, your use of short hand causes the same problems to many of us older guys that my AME does to you. If you would slow down, write like your l/a teacher tells you to, proof and edit, your questions will be clearer to a whole lot of guys who can help you.
This is not a put down. This is a sincere desire to help.
As was explained to you in your other post in the general section "how can i" Yes you can hook power lock track up to DCC. I'm not sure why you'd get a DCC system if you don't have any locomotives with decoders.

Gene,
You are absolutely hilarious! Its' like I'm sitting in my english/lit class from many, many years ago. I feel like Plato sitting at the feet of Aristotle...or wait, was it the other way around? I know...I feel like Charlie McCarthy sitting on Edgar Bergan's knee. (Let the younger members figure that out) :)
Thanks, Bill. I'm subbing for an old friend for the next three days. Act I and II of MACBETH. This is the third Shakespearian play for these students and they still can't tell their "thee" from their "thy." But most apparently got something out of it. One of the students in the last class was in the office as I left and told the secretary, "Now that's the sub who KNOWS Shakespeare!" And he couldn't be sucking up. All I'm doing is leaving a report.
BTW, there are no trains in MACBETH, not even the "Hogwarts Express." ::)
Gene
Now we're off topic. I think he want's to know if E-Z Command can be used on a layout with Power-Loc track. If so, the answer is yes.
I do like the joke. I recently read Twelfth Night in school. Shakespeare's one great writer.
bill....someone has their hand through your back and up inside your neck??!!! ;) :D
i also wonder why youd want a dcc set-up and you dont have any locos with decoders.
but as far as my knowledge of that new fangled stuff goes....it connects to any style track.
well maybe i have a train with a decoder already hmm i think a athearn challenger
Gene, Bill,
Enjoyed your post.
Charlie is Candice Bergan's brother?
Dcc is only transmitted along the rail to the locomotive. The rail provides power and signal to the decoder.
Edgar Beren stated that Charlie was one of his family. Candice Bergen complained that everyone thought Charlie was her brother. Neither run on DCC or Dc for that matter.
The Athearn Challenger would be ready to program and operate if you bought one. Remember that it operates on 24" radius or larger.
This has been more like Convincing Falstaff of something improtant rather than MacBeth.
Hast thy Challenger marker lights on its tender? If not, thou hast a locomotive, not a train. If perchance that be not the case, thou couplest thy tender to such varied cars as thou seest fit, placing thy caboose most regally on its end, and then thou hast a train. (Some varlet may say there must be marker lights eke upon thy caboose. They say sooth. )
Gene
will you talk in english!!!!!!!!! nobody enjoys ur spanishenglishweirdo giberish!!!! DUH it has a tender i paid 400 bucks for it it better have a tender
Sirrah, I speak not, but even write. Wotst thee well that I use good Queen Bess's most excellent English. Thou understandeth not comments made to thy peril. I asked thee not if thou hast a tender, but hast thy tender MARKERS? The difference is in many a stone, more than is known in thy philosophy.
Thou hast in thy power to have me cease this merriment. Thou canst gird thy loins and try thy uttermost to write as thy language arts teacher wouldst have thee do. That done, thou shalt see this not 'til thou art a freshman or a sophomore. Then "Blow wind, come wrack,/ At least" thou diest "with harness on" thy "back."
Printst thee my utterances on fair paper and show my scrivings to thy language arts teacher and harken to what that learned lady eke gentleman doth pronounce it. In fairness, thou shouldst show also thy scribblings
Gene, Gent. ;D
Gene, Thou art a cruel knave. This poor fellow can't tell Spanish from English, yet you continue. Do you also shoot fish in barrels?
brad
ps. keep up the good work ;) LOL
Depends on the fish. ;D

He IS talking in English. Old English, I believe it's called, but English just the same. You are the one who appears to be talking in "spanishenglishweirdo gibberish"
PS- It appears that many of us like Gene's Old English. :D
ROTFLMAO " :D"
;D ;D ;D
Actually, it's as I said, AME, which stands for "Archaic Modern English." Were it Old English, I couldn't read it, much less write it. Middle English I can still read, but not write any longer. That's Chaucer's era: "Whan that Aprille with his shoures sote/The droghte of Marche hath perced to the rote..." (Good thing I went back and checked. I originally misspelled "his, showers, sweet, drought, March, pierced, and root!)
"Blow wind, come wrack" comes from the last scene of Act V of MacBeth, just before MacBeth is killed. Farts would come from Chaucer's "The Miller's Tale," but we have children present so I shall not quote it.
M80c, speak for thyself alone. And thou shouldst not laugh at another's misfortune else it cometh thy way. For that, I dropped nothing, for it fell from wence it was placed for labor.
Is somebody being railroaded? (Obligatory railroad content)

Actually the athearn challenger is safe to run on 18"R track, it is the Big Boy that requires 22"R but is recomended for 24"R. ;) Call me meticulous but who cares.

Yes I probably messed up to the point of english teacher histerics yet I have yet to learn AME.

SteamGene, I must be getting old. I can easily read your AME and understand every word. But I am still wondering what "can a HO E Z comand dcc without loco run on power lock track?" means. His words ask if an H0 E-Z Commander can run along a particular brand of rails. But I suspect that what he really wants to know is something entirely different.

I think last time he said he was 13 and was in 6th grade....
LOL, Gene, I think you may be teaching us all something! It's been a long time since I read any Middle English! Last time was in '78, Fairmont State University! Wow! Plasser, I know this is all in jest but pay attention to Gene, he can teach you alot! By the way, I have seven grandkids who still can't write much, well six of them anyway, so I have been well practiced in jibberish. I think I understand what you're asking. If I do, yes you can connect to any track (HO) and run any locomotive on it without any ill effects.
And to the radius question....I have both the Athearn Genesis Challenger and the Big Boy. They work and pull fine on the 18"radius track. Looks silly though! And before it happens, I know "jibberish" is not in the dictionary! lol Stephen
Stephen, I did not know jibberish was not in the dictionary. I thought it was an Americanization of the English word gibberish.
Quotegibberish noun 1 speech that is meaning less or difficult to understand. 2 utter nonsense.
ETYMOLOGY: 16c.
The above definition is cut and pasted from Chambers online dictionary. Note their misuse of the language - "meaning less" where they meant "meaningless." If even the dictionary has trouble getting it right, what hope does HOplasserem80c have?
Jim, that is so true. I get the word "jibberish" from my Appalachian Mountain upbringing. That was how the old folks used and spelled it! I thought maybe someone would pick up on that one...never was much good at humor in the written word! lol

I completely agree. I don't understand how you get all these locos. Oh wait, cause you don't have them. Please stop the lies! Nearly all of your posts are complete bull **** so stop please and move on. N one likes it when someone pretends to know a lot when they don't hardly know anything. Cause there a begginer. Nothing wrong with being new, but by thinking that we are going to believe a bunch of crap is out of the question. I thought we had settled this already, but I guess not. STOP LYING. Everyone on this forum knows you are, so it is not worth continuing.
The challenger is READY to RUN with DCC ONBOARD.
It can take 18" radius even. Though it doesn't look that good when running around them.
LOL Gene, I keep having flash backs to high school and the Canterberry (SP) Tales and old English days. Where once a week we spent English class speaking old English. Just imagine 40 Southern boys and girls and a English Teacher from Maine.
Now to Plasser, if your going to lie and keep on doing it learn to keep your facts straight, but I prefer the truth always over a lie. IF you can afford a $400.00 locomotive then quit asking if I have a old Bachmann 4-8-4 because I am scraping by on SSI and I can't afford $400.00 locomotives unless it is a 3 truck 55 ton shay in 1:20.3

Or an AMD-103 Genni from me, it isn't happening...
Could you guys please stop picking on him? The purpose of this forum is for talk about trains, not to be rude to people. So what if he has a challenger. I have a big boy, and I'm younger than him. Age never really matters for what the price of your trains are. (Unless your 2 or 3...)
ok here we go again
ok first of all i did ask you if you had a b-mann 4-8-4
second of all yes i do have a 400 dollar big boy
and third of all i am not lying and i don't have to match myself with any of you people i am to far above the influence to sink down to the level of the lot of you. i know what i have on my layout and i know i have pretty inspresive things and i know there are a couple of trains i have that no one else has.
so if you think a am going to stoop to your peoples level and argue about what i have on my layout you are sadly mistaken.

....well we aren't picking on him , we just don't believe his assertion that he has all these locos ......if he was asking intellegent questions about these locos he allegedly owns we might believe him, but to say you have a $400 loco and then want a POS TYCO loco just because its a UP?? no way!! i'm not buying it!!! ......it's a clear case of train envy, he's too young to have the knowledge he so desperately trys to fake and i dont believe he has anything more than a few old POS locos and a lot of dreams.
he says he doesnt need to match anyone on this board.....but he trys to do it every day, perhaps when he grows up and learns to stop fakeing it, others might take him seriously.

ok, i just did a search of our buddy plassers posts....oh man!!! i didnt realize how little he actually knows!! apparently hes about 5 yrs behind on railroad news...he thinks the B&O roof collapse just happened....he thinks that bachmann still uses traction tires.....he thinks tyco is still in business and he asks constant questions about tyco stuff that he bought, he acted very rude and snotty toward several people then came up with some lame, ''im sory, why dont you acept it'' line that was so fake it was silly.....so if hes got this mythical $400 loco [ and wants a $600 aero train], how come he doesn't have any knowledge of even the basics??? the number of questions about 3rd and 4th rate locos and rolling stock hes got and what kind of track they will work on makes it quite obvious he doesn't have a clue!!! i don't expect a 13 yr old to know much....but he has answered questions meant for the pros with ''jibberish'' and then said the advice that he got from Guilford Guy and others was stupid.....it's just a matter of time until he really inserts foot in mouth and makes a total laughing stock of himself....he's already well on the way!!!!!! ;D

GG, I don't think he meant it quite that way. Age is irrelevant to the knowledge you may have! The problem has been attitude with others. Whether we like it or not, that is what gains us respect or disdain! Both are earned. There have been discrepancies noted with his postings and the latest I saw was he first said he had a Challenger now has a Big Boy! Since his father allegedly works for the UP, it is very possible, with his apparent love of trains, that they have purchased him these locos. Just giving him the benefit of doubt. Please don't get to offended by the age remarks. There is an old adage (sort of)...respect others and they will respect you! Shor version! Stephen
I have theory. A certain spelling and grammar challenged individual with over-abundant enthusiasm for trains is really a college student or adult trolling this site. Think about it. No one could spell that bad without deliberately trying. - Nevin

LD - Bachmann DOES still use traction tires on their old time 4-4-0's.

I agree. We all know he is full of it. Just won't admit, very pathetic. Could we see a picture of this challenger that you say you have. Don't try copying it from a website, cause it is really easy to follow the link to the original site
GG, i didnt direct that comment about 13 yr olds at you, solely at our ''buddy'' the expert, ive seen your posts and advice and i can tell you defintely have things well in hand.
terry.....i wasnt aware bachmann still used traction tires on anything, the post i was referring to was about a diesel that was having wheelslip problems and our friend advised to check the traction tires.
i am not a exspert. i am new at this stuff. i just can't wait till i get my desert storm. i will have a UP empire
It would be a good start to an empire
