Bachmann Trains - E-Z Command Plus Digital Command Control System - Controller, Prototypical Colors

Works like it should. It's just a simple way to get into this type of product.

Works as it should. I recommend watching some youtube videos of people setting it up, as the instructions are a little wonky.

This pulls all sounds out of engines, and is very good at controlling your engines. Yeah, keep 'em rolling!

Gets the job done, I've shorted it out multiple times, the first time it happened, I thought the controller was done for based on reviews, to my surprise it was fine! I was always quick to cut the track power by unplugging the power from the controller, the unit does begin to flicker when a short is happening but from my experience if you're quick to cut the power, no damage seems to be done. I'm not fond of the speed control knob, single click rotations don't always register properly but all in all the speed controler works alright with great low speed control.

I run a small in scale layout that doesn’t have much traffic on it, with several teams of locomotives and 9 options I can actually run quite a few locomotives and trains. I would say this is definitely never for large, heavy traffic layouts, but if your just wanting to have some freedom for running some trains, this is the perfect device.

This command plus is amazing. 10/10 recommend

I purchased this controller in January 2023, and by May 2023, it stopped working. My father bought two of these controllers and one started acting up with not allowing to increase speed and his second controller began having issues as well. It is still within the 1 year warranty period to send it back to Bachmann but it will cost me the shipping fees to send it to Bachmann in PA. I know this because I had to send a Bachmann DCC engine back and pay the shipping fee. I have old Tyco controllers and engines from the 70’s that still work fabulously than Bachmann’s junk. Very disappointed with Bachmann’s products.

Stopped working correctly after only a couple of day's light use. If your familiar or not with this DCC controller it has a dial that is incremental so that you can adjust the speed of your locomotive. On my controller the speed dial Stopped working and would only work if I pushed and held the know down. Even then it was sporadic and and soon as I released the know the locomotive would stop. This is exactly backwards from how it should operate. According to the manual depressing the speed knob should stop the locomotive. I am returning the DCC controller plus hopefully for a correctly working unit.
