Short answer -  NO!




Long answer - A Bachmann E-Z Command Control Center does not support programming by user supplied CV number.  Thus, you cannot program a value of 8 to CV 8, which causes the decoder to reset all its CVs to their default value. (In Digitrax DCS52 jargon, WRITE a value of 08 to CV 08 )

However ---------- Using a Bachmann E-Z Command Control Center, the follow procedure might work

Carefully follow the procedure REPROGRAMMING DECODERS WITH PREVIOUSLY ASSIGNED DIGITAL ADDRESSES for locomotive's digital address is a number higher than 10, page 3 of the E-Z COMMAND Setup and Programming Instructions.  This procedure automatically changes a few of the decoder's CVs, which may get the locomotive to respond as it should.

Suggest you put away the Bachmann E-Z Command Control Center and only use the Digitrax DCS52 Zephyr Express
