Thanks to all who have helped me with this topic. I have managed to get my hands on a new dynamis control for about  $125, Hopefully this will solve my problems and limitations.

Thanks thats what I have been trying to find out. If there is something I can do with the system I have, or if I have to upgrade to another system, and if I have to upgrade what system would be best for me to go to with the equipment I have? What would you recommend? Most of my locos are Bachmann, but I do have two Walthers units one is an F7A/B unit road name Milwaukee Road and the other is a train line GP9M with the same road name that I also want to switch to DCC. Any help would be great. Thank you. 

Thank you for all of your input. I want a controller that I can control my engines from and one he can control his from. The problem I am having is all the engines are DCC and the layout is being set us with switches that are going to be DCC. MY son currently has two engines and has his eye on a couple more. He has alot of ideas he wants to do and they sound good, but the controller is the hang up. We are setting up with 4 main line engines 4 switcher engines to start with. There are a couple more engines I want to get too. With all the DCC addresses we will be needing there control system has quickly gotten to limited. The layout has quickly grown will be taking up two rooms upstairs roughly a 15 X 25 area. This is the problem.

That is the hang up I need to find some thing to fix this dilema.

I have a DCC command controller and a walk around currently. Can I connect another DCC command controller to the track so my son can control his trains separately from mine? I have 6 train and he has 5. I know the walk around will only work the trains that are programed in to the command controller. I want to be able to control my engines at the same time as he is doing his on another part of the layout with a different controller. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.     

Many thanks to Jim and Jward for all the help. Everything went good. Thanks agian for your help.

So with the way it is on the board I do not need a resistor between the bulb and pick up then, and the decoder goes between the pick ups and the motor then.

I figure I had to keep left and right separate, I just was not sure if the Pos and Neg mattered. But you are meaning left and right as if you were sitting in the cab correct? Can I use the resistor from the board for the lights? The thing I am wondering from looking at the board it look is like the bulbs do not have a resistor between the pickups and the bulbs. The pickup wire from the wheels are soldered to the board right next to the point were the bulb is soldered to the board. It looks like the resistor is between the motor and the pickups. Thank you agian.

The other thing I wanted to check is it has a red wire coming out of the trucks on one side and a black out of the other. If you were sitting in the engine facing forward the red would be out of the left side and the black out of the right side. I apologize if I am asking to many questions. I just don't want to screw it up and ruin anything. So THANK YOU for your patience and help. 

I have done some automotive electronics which kind of helps. It did look like it had the regular resistors in it( they are green colored piece with the colored bands). The bands look to be yellow purple and two silver. The other thing that is confusing me is that the wires that go to the motor. The red wire comes from the motor to the board and the spot is marked mo-, the black comes up to a spot marked mo+. All the thing I have worked on have been red positive black negative. This is not a positive ground system like the old thirties and forties car is it?

Does it matter which lead i use off the bulb?

Thank you for your help. This is my first time doing this so it was helpful. I dont have any resistor to put between the decoder and the lights so can I use the resistors in the board between the decoder and the light? Thank you again for your help.

I am looking for a wiring diagram for putting a Bachmann 44913 into a Bachmann EMD GP40 Diesel. Can anyone help me? Thank you.
