Does anyone out there knows if there is a way to set  up an HO DCC locomotive with sound & E-Z Command so that the diesel blast sound goes off automatically at certain section of track?
And if so, how would I go about accomplishing this?
Thanks, Dave D

There is not with the equipment you list.

To do what you want requires,


  • Add a sensor circuit to the track
  • Install a decoder in locomotive that can use input from sensor
  • Replace the E-Z Command Control Center with a full feature DCC system


This one of those things that easy to ask for but complex to do.

What is a full feature DCC system?

Something such as a Dynamis system would be one although you would need the Pro-Box add-on for CV read back.
There are other options as well from other manufacturers, they generally cost upwards of $175 or so.

OK, I just purchased & received a Bachmann 36505 E-Z Command Dynamis Wireless Infrared DCC System. So, what else do I need to get?
Can you recommend a product or website I can go to?
Are there any tutorial type videos and/or instructions anywhere on showing how to set this up?
As previously stated, I new at this & learning as I go.
Thanks to you all for any replies or help.
