Bachmann Dynamis Website launched

>We recognise the power of the internet in being able to accurately communicate
I wonder how they learned that .

But seriously, I am definitely going to take a look. Seeing the Bachmann guy at Ally Pally with the controller hanging round his neck like an ID badge was pretty compelling. My primary requirement is for a wireless controller; dynamis might be a good place to start.

<Edit>
I've had a mooch around. There doesn't appear to be a link to the site from the main Bachmann UK site, or maybe I've done too much surfing tonight reading small print

It's not listed in the features, but there's a reference to ECoSlink in the FAQ and as all ECoS fan boys and girls know, ECoSlink is the bus used by the ECoS... The only question is, is it a controller feature or do you need the pro box. Still £90 to dip your toes in the water seems like a good deal to me.

I was thinking exactly the same thing as Doug when reading the FAQ section. Where did they get those frequently asked questions from!

The Pro box is required to provide users with the PC link as well as the ECoSlink.

No prices for this yet.

Bachmann have to be very excited about Dynamis and it will definitely raise their profile within the DCC community and beyond.

ESU are probably excited aswell as it could well raise theirs!

Happy modelling

According to Bachmann at Ally Pally:

Bachmann Dynamis approx. £90 (probably selling for £75+ at the usual discount).

Bachmann Dynamis Pro is approximately £50 more (I think that's RRP ?).

Total cost approx. £120 to £130 I'd guess.

Fantastic !

E-Z Booster, to provide an extra 5 amps, approx £80 to £90.

You want to read a CV to see what it is set to. A couple of years after you have installed a decoder into a loco, you may not be sure as to how it is set-up. I wasn't aware the the Multimaus had that shortcoming...

The Multimaus itself has the capability to read CVs, but the Roco Digital Amplifier 10764 that it comes bundled with does not. There are a couple of footnotes in the Multimaus manual that say that CVs can only be read when connected to Lenz devices or the Rocomotion PC Interface.

Hence, I'm starting to come to the conclusion that my 'ideal' DCC setup is probably going to be some sort of hybrid.
Perhaps the Multimaus connected to a Lenz Amplifier, with the ZTZ 505 as a slave controller. But more on this later.....

Originally when I bought it I thought id add a ZTC 511 as a slave. Bought the 511, returned it a week later as I was far from impressed. Since then I haven't been able to make up my mind......decided on adding a multimouse...then on an ECoS....now possibly this.....I think the only sensible thing to do with regard to DCC at the minute is to wait and see how things pan out! And I don't like waiting......

Hi,

'scuse me if I'm being nosy, but could you let me know what didn't impress you about the ZTC511. I have been working with one for a couple of years (yes, working is the best way to describe it!) I have found it very quirky, but I am also interested in other folk's views. Email me if you find that more appropriate.

Regards,

Hugh
