My Bachmann Ez-command has NEVER given me any problems. I have 34 engines (DC and DCC) that I keep on spur tracks, (track powered off) when not in use. I do not have a need for changing CV's. I have used this system for 5 years now. My layout originally was cab control, which made the switch to DCC simple. I do have issues when I run more than 4 sound equipped units, but I know this is a power issue. I have been part of a train club, and it always seemed that they had constant issues with the bigger systems. I am not saying that the bigger systems are bad, just that it really is NOT needed to run trains efficiently. I will one day buy the booster Bachmann offers, so I can triple head some of my sound equipped steamers.
I also have visitors over, and they can just run trains, after a few seconds. It was a bigger learning curve for me to use the Zephyr system, at the club.
My layout is a 14' x 22' "L" shaped, double wishbone, with a harbor scene.
