I bought EZ Command but I didn't get a cable with it to hook a DC controller to it. Where can I buy one?

Joe Satnik

Dear SF,

You should be able to get one from customer service at  215-533-1600  (Avoid using the 800 number.)

If you want to build yourself one, it is just a 3 conductor cable with a 1/8" stereo plug (male) on each end. 

Tip to tip,

  ring to ring,

    shank to shank.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik

If memory serves, one such cord comes with the power pack recommended by Bachmann.  On page 6 of the E-Z Command manual, it mentions the  Bachmann #44212 power pack.  This power pack has special internal wiring to allow it to work with the E-Z Command.  Most (all?) other power packs are not wired this way.  If you have the correct pack and all you require is the cord, Joe's cable should be eminently satisfactory.

Growing older is mandatory but growing up is optional.

I have new (set break-up) 44212 power packs if you need one.
