DCC Switches

I don't understand the difference between EZ Track DCC Switches and regular. I am using the Bachmann DCC Controller and it seems to work my layout/switches (which are regular EZ Track Switches) w/o any problems. I am guessing that there is some advantage?

The only things I can think of is if DCC (which I don't know that much about) can:

  • work a reverse loop w/o the moderately complex wiring
  • use the DCC controler to actualy actuate the switch rather than having to wire it using the switch privided and regular wires

Once again, I may have answered my own question. I am hoping that some DCC Guru will let me know either way.

I am also new to DCC - But what you have written appears to be correct.  I think you have to use the companion attached to the main controller to work the switches.

I also need to know for sure because I want to add switches that can be controlled with out wires. 

Thanks,
