Introduction to E-Z Command® Plus

With E-Z Command® Plus, digital control of speed, lighting, sound, and direction of multiple locomotives is at your fingertips, as well as remote control of Bachmann E-Z Command® DCC-equipped turnouts.

❤ This helped me with figuring out how easy it really is programming and using the functions . I’ve bought bunch of n scale DCC locomotives. So much fun!!!

You guys should really consider bringing back the old "Great Iron Horse Train Robbery" set, complete with its diorama piece, exploding car, trap door car, figures, and storybook, while updating it with an oval of Nickel Silver E-Z track, newer style transformer, and a Jupiter engine with the more recent tooling and livery...

LOVE THE LOOK JUST LIKE THE
MRC TECH 2. Brilliant !

I've been waiting for someone to review this new controller since it was announced back in the 2022 catalog

[SteveCarmichael]

If I set one train to the slowest speed, then set a second train to the fastest speed, then switch back to the slow train and slightly move the speed dial, does the slow train jump to the faster speed or stay at the slowest speed initially set?

That's a big update to the EZ Command, I have had the original since 2011 for my small layout and it's been fine for that other than not being able to access a couple functions on 1 sound loco I have but it looks like you covered everything for a small or casual layout now!

I might have to get one of these and sell the original.

I had the original EZ controller, currently with Gaugemaster Prodigy, but I am considering coming back and purchasing this, so simple to use.

Ok Bachman. Ya got me. I’m buying a dcc starter set with this controller and i’m sold on your cross tracks. I can control the track with my controller?!? With stock track without modifying?!?? You got yourself a customer for life there Bachman! 👍🏻

[JoeyLovesTrains]

Ez command turnouts?! That’s so cool!!

[nscalerofficial]

You guys should have abandoned the 3.5mm headphone jack as a connection. That's where all of your shorts occured and destroyed so many units.... Not smart at all.

[rayronvr]

so when you are programming the model does this change the address number to the respective push button number? so if you assign an engine to the 9 button does that mean that the chip in the engine has been change to 009 along with the respective cv value? I suspect you cant program engine number from the command station.

[ThePenofDemocracy]

Does this work with your On30 locos? How do I make the sounds happen?

[ATSF_]

Will this controller work for locomotives produced by other companies? (Kato Walthers Lionel etc)?

[EASYUSA]

The price for what it offers is unrealistic, it should cost no more than $99. For less money I can get so many other DCC controllers with TONs, and I cant stress this enough, TONSSSS more features. Sorry Bachmann, I love the E-Z Track system but this controller is already 10 years outdated and that an understatement.

[SkipRoGlo]

Good video. I have a small layout, Two separate tracks. We used flex track and the drop feeders are connected to separate bus wires. How do I connect to the two red wires from the controller? Where do I solder them? To the end of the bus wire or directly to the track. Which wire is negative, they are both red.

[nicolaasfourie]

Does it also short out as easily as the previous model?

[vidfreak]

How does this compare to Lionel HO Lion Chief?

[TheTransportationFanfromCA]

Will newer dcc train sets come with this controller

[Phoenix_gaming]

Does this remote work with hornby big boy and broadway limited 4812 locomotives

[railfanmicahturner]

My original EZ command system is awful for overheating; is that an issue with this one?
