LOVE it!!
Thank you
It's a nice starter set. 👍
It's a pretty good way to get started right away in taking advantage of DCC model railroading. I use an E-Z Command unit on my 11x8 L-shaped HO-scale layout with amp booster, and it works very nicely with my decoder-equipped locomotives (a mix of Bachmann DCC on board and TCS decoders in my fleet). My E-Z Command unit I bought in 2014 came with a decoder-equipped BNSF GP40 locomotive, and it was great for upgrading my existing layout from analog to DCC.
I have a Bachmann booster as well as a reverse loop module that I’m very happy with. Thank you for watching
Thanks for the video, thinking of buying one for my son to start a collection.
You should!
I'm considering buying the exact same set to play with the grandson with. It's also nice that you get two powered engines.
I’ve had pretty good luck with it. Thank you for watching
is there another set that you would recomend that is "more modern" that could handle two or more locomotives with one controller and able to handle considerably more track ? thanks for you advice
if you wanted to build a set from scratch, I’d get the Kato HO world’s greatest hobby track pack, the NCE Powe Cab and then choose a DCC locomotive and cars. bachmann has silver series cars that you can get used on ebay and you could shop for a nicer dcc locomotive with sound . it won’t be cheap, but you’d have quality . thanks for watching
Really nice train 🚉 set❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
Yes, it’s a great set I think. Thank you for watching
I'm a total newbie to model trains, but I'm considering buying this train set. I know these trains don't have sound, but if I were to buy a DCC loco with sound, would it function with this set, for instance, would I be able to hear the sound effects?
absolutely. great question and thank you for watching. it’s a good set, just be very gentle with the locomotives.
I've purchased three of these sets. The first in 2012 and the last two in 2021. The build quality of the newest sets is not as good as the older set. And one of the newer ddc controllers stopped working just hours after opening the box.
I bought an Bachmann n scale Broadway Limited last Fall and the transformer was dead right out of the box. I bought a Digital Commander set around Christmas time 2013 and let the kids use it (10 & 12). I don’t know if they dropped the F unit or what, but I know that when I pulled it out again to use it in 2014, it didn’t work. I thought I’d try again now that they’re gone and I’m retired. I hope it has long term reliability, but I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews about Bachmann. I appreciate your watching and feedback. Thank you
I bought the same set this month from Amazon. They sent it with the new EZ DCC Command plus. It has a LED scale for speed. What I don’t like is that they don’t have the option to connect a DC controller to it with an interconnect cable.
Why not get this? You say it's "dated"?
there is nothing wrong with it and it works very well. I simply mean it was one of their first dcc offerings and there is no sound. it is a bit pricey, but I still have it without any issues. thank you for watching
No sound.come on
maybe a setting you missed? sometimes, I have to reboot my phone to get sound
