Where can I buy or find a wiring diagram for the EZ command connection wires?
I also need a cable to tie my dc to dcc together.

Dear Vic,

DCC to track is the same cable as Analog DC to track in the Bachmann systems, "BAC00002".

http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/index.php/topic,22376.0.html

The jumper between the DC and DCC units has 3.5mm TRS plugs on both ends, same as your MP3 player jumper, "EZ_CABLE"

It is wired Tip to Tip (AC power), Ring to Ring (DC speed and direction), and Shank to Shank (common return for both T and R).

It may have heavier gauge wiring than an MP3 jumper, though, as it does pass AC power from the DC unit to the DCC unit.

Connecting the two units infers that you want to run a DC loco on your DCC layout. 

Remember that stopping for an extended time or parking a DC motor on a live DCC layout will heat up and possibly burn out your DC motor. 

The DC loco should be taken off the DCC layout as soon as possible after stopping,

or parked on a siding that has at least one isolated rail that can be switched off.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik 



If your loco is too heavy to lift, you'd better be able to ride in, on or behind it.

The older version of the E-Z Command Control Center does not have an On/Off switch (see figure 7, page 2).
