dcc turnouts

[acemanjay]

hi im starting my first dcc layout and i was wondering if you can control the turnouts from the e-z command and if so how


          thanks for everybodys help

I believe the EZ Command can not activate switches. Bachmann makes switches with decoders, but you will need a different DCC system. I'm not too fond of DCC operated switches, since you have to remember all those different numbers, as opposed to using your finger.

what would you suggest for controling the trunouts

[Guilford Guy]

Who makes the turnouts?

[acemanjay]

so should i get a boster cause i plan on running  a-b-a set plus 2 or 3 more trains but not all the same time

Hunt's above comment is right on.

I use 6 turnout and 2 DCC engines and one DC engine at the same time. 

Caveat running small loop within a larger loop and several turnouts to work tracks.   

Command DCC powered system - all works grand. 

Try with what you have before you buy more power.

what would be the best way to control the turnouts automaticly

[hgcHO]

My reply again would be the E-Z Command; have the Dynamis but for me the Command works best.
