PLEASE HELP ME!!!! I need help with the Dynamis Dcc system.....

[dynamisbrowser1]

I have a couple of questions about the dynamis...... I would like to buy it, but am having troubles with the Information on the dyanmis system!!
First Question: 1: Well, i would like to know if i can run regular dc locomotives on it until i get some deconders. 2: I want more power.... But have no idea as to how to do that without spending $2-or $300 dollars!!!
3: I want to use one of my powerpacks to boost the power.... Is that possible? 4: Does the Dynamis Have accsesory ports? I need lots of power!   ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APRECIATED!!!!

ALSO ANYONE THAT OWNS THE DYNAMIS I NEED A VIDEO REVIEW SHOWING ME HOW IT WORKS AND HOW TO HOOK IT UP!!!!  


    THANKS!!!!!!

(1) The Dynamis will not run locomotives without decoders.

(2) The only way to boost the power is with a booster and as you have already observed, they tend to be expensive.

(3) A regular power pack is as different from a booster as a Hoover is from a Harley.  No matter how hard you try, you can't use a Hoover to make a Harley go faster.  And you can't combine the power from a power pack with the power from a DCC system.

(4) By accessory ports I assume you mean regular power to run accessories, just like you find on regular power packs.  No it does not.  But if you already have a regular power pack, you can still use it for powering regular switch motors, building lights, animations, and that sort of thing.

Sorry to say I do not own a Dynamis so i cannot send you a video.  But perhaps someone else can.

Besides sounding like Tim Taylor, what do you need all that power for... 
Have fun,

PS, knowing this may help with the answer...

Ok, Taz i have a layout that i take the exabitions and shows and at any one time i have avout 200 locos running..... LOL just though i'd add those....

That's about 200 feet of locos alone.  You couldn't put the layout in a semi trailer with a pup, anyway you would need a CDL to drive it.

For power, use 20 solar panels, 36 deep cycle batteries and a 10 kilowatt sine wave inverter. At 40% DOD, that allows about 10 amps per loco, and should light things up nicely as you take it on the road.

I sell solar electric, can make you a killer cash deal at only $150,000.00. (Semi and 40 Dynamis systems not included)

[Guilford Guy]

I have to say Bob, that 200 Thomas the Tank Engines are only about 1/3 of that... so 66ft of locomotives...

[Yampa Bob]

True, then the layout might fit in a semi trailer, but still need at least 400 cars for all those Thomases to pull.

By the way, the full size Thomas is coming to Denver Museum this weekend, I hope to drive down and see the kids take rides.

Ha ha yampa. it's built in modules and it's my club's. I mistakenly called it mine. i mean i did build and wire most of it!

I'm a little confused about this "Dynamis" system. It has been on the market for over a year?  Is that correct?  And there is STILL no on-line manual, or any real information available from Bachmann?  And the accessories, "ProBox", extension receiver, etc. are still not available?  Is this product a sort of stepchild, or is Bachmann really supporting it? Who manufactures it?  I don'treally understand why there is not more information published.  Maybe I am just looking in the wrong place, but the Bachmann website seems to be the most logical...
