This is probably the cheapest and simplest DCC controller on the market. Serious modellers beware- it doesn't allow you to do anything fancy like modify CV values, it just lets you select locos and change their addresses. (There is a function key, sound-equipped locos.) However, for a beginner like me, it was very nice. The controls are fairly intuitive and easy to grasp (speed dial, forward/reverse and emergency stop). It even lets you run one DC loco, which is useful for me, although I understand that it's not reccomended. My only complaint is that it wore out after two years. I believe a wire connecting to the speed dial came loose. A more skilled modeller than I might have fixed it, but only ended up frying it.

However, it's cheap and works well enough that I'm getting another one!

We have had zero problems with this unit. Looking on UTube on the operation of the unit has been a huge help. We are able to operate two DCC and one DC engines. Very pleased with the unit.

I can't give an honest review at this time as I won't really be using it for quite a while, but the short test I did out of the box with a locomotive on a 4 feet piece of straight track was very positive..

My son has recently started getting into HO scaled trains. I made him a table and set up layout on it. As novice beginners we wanted to find a means to control multiple locomotives with the ability to vary the speed and direct simultaneously. Well, it works. If you're newbies like us though make sure that you have the Decoder chip installed in your DCC Ready locomotive before attempting to control it digitally. Otherwise you will might walk away disappointed.

Digital control trains is new to me, and I really fell in love with it.Being able to control several locomotives is great fun. I love DCC locomotives with sounds cause it keep your interest. The steam locomotives have lots of sounds of a real steam locomotives. I have two down sides on the Bachmann E-Z digital control system Bac44902 controller.(1)should have more than 10 or built larger to handle locomotives.(2) the black cable that goes from controller to the 5 amp power booster should be made stronger it easy breaks, had to purchase additional ones.It isn't made for kids 8 years and older cause they move around a lots that will break the wireing. Since then I've gone to Bachmann's E-Z Command Dynamis. No wires to break cause I now have wireless. I put up my wired E-Z command controller as a backup. Handles more locomotives and gives more chance to move around and no wires. Willie
