I am just now redoing my layout and converting to DCC ... finally. I have decided to go with the NCE Power Cab because it looks simple, it does what I want it to do and it's reasonable on the pocket book. In digging around in my stuff I found a brand new E-Z Command power booster and thought that rather than spend another $150 on an SB5 that maybe this Bachmann would do the trick. I didn't realize that the SB5 had the unplug-still run feature. That's cool! ....of course, there's a ton of stuff I don't realize when it comes to DCC. When I get closer to the start-up phase of my new layout, I'll probably be asking "how do I hook the E-Z up without blowing the the Power Cab".....
