This controller is definitely not for the novice. Lots of nice features many of which you'll use as opposed to a control with many more features. It also works very well with the power boost on a DCC system. Make sure your batteries are fresh though. The only flaws with this controller is like I have looked at other reviews it is dependent on site of line it's infrared. The other floor in the controller are that the battery hatches which close the AAA batteries into the unit are not the best built there could be more quality control on the item. Otherwise it's a good value for that price search around the price is very greatly by hundreds of dollars. I have three of these and they do work very well on my large layout.

The user guide is the worst I've ever seen, have just spent three hours trying to program a second locomotive. The handset sometimes doesn't turn on, have to operate the on/off switch up to a dozen times, will probably quit soon! The person's native language that wrote the guide certainly wasn't English! I've given up on this crap. das.

Purchased a second Bachman Spectrum 36505 Wireless EZ command Dynamis DCC Control System because I needed a new wall plug. Also wanted a second remote to control other trains. Unfortunately, it appears a second control will not work in conjunction with first remote, unless I also purchase the Pro-box. Otherwise, I have enjoyed the system for several years. Some of the programming could stand some updating to facilitate ease of use.

I would have given this product 5 stars if the directions for setting up engines was not so confusing. The directions for programming locomotives on the main track do not work - nothing happens - no change of address to the locomotive. The directions for programming on a service track were the ones that worked, after countless tries on the main track. There are several web postings that I found where other folks have had the same problem. Otherwise, the product works great and I really enjoy being able to control multiple locomotives on the same track, even going in opposite directions! Come on Bachmann, get your act together with the instructions! That should be an easy fix!

This is currently a fantastic price, easiest and least expensive way to get into DCC wireless. I ordered this and had it the very next day. I am only 35 miles from the vendor but still that is amazing. The only bummer is you cannot use DC trains when this system powers the track. Several wires controllers will operate both DCC and DC like Bachmann’s wired E-Z Digital Command Station. A color screen would be better also. The contrast would be much improved since the screen has much information. A red Stop button would be nice, because it can trigger and I don’t notice. But now when the train stops it’s the first thing I look for. This is very easy to use for beginners and more advanced users will appreciate all of the extra features. I am in the beginner category The box and unit do not say “Ultimate” anywhere. But the box says you can use up to 4 wireless controllers which is a main feature of the Ultimate. All in all an outstanding purchaseRead full review
