I would have much prefered a numeric style keypad as well - it looks like there is plenty of room (that's one thing that does put me off the ECoS a little, that & the attitude of SWD.)
There is an on screen numeric pad on the ECoS, you could also get one from Modelbahn Kramm who have better customer service.

System looks nice, it does have a similar power pack to the ECoS boost. Have you found out of it read's CV's yet?

(1) Dynamis is what it is, which is a nice entry level system in todays terms and it looks to be good value. It is not at the control or programming ability level of an NCE PowerCab which has a far more sophisticated programming and operation ability, and a far more positive upgrade path performance-wise.

(3) Re Dynamis ability to act as a remote for the ECOS - This is a wish and just a "wish or guess" by forum members but seems to be gaining a reputation as impending fact with NO real grounding in reality. There is no claim by either brand that this will ever happen, and to be honest I think its consumer positive but commercially unwise and actually unlikely.

The Dynamis can of course be connected to the sniffer port of the ECOS as can every other brand. Remember that ESU also make some of the Marklin controllers and these don't directly interface - or if they do, do so with limited functionality.

There does seem to have been a lot of uninformed speculation that Dynamis is a top end system for little money. Those speculating seem to have overlooked the fact that top end systems have moved on significantly as have starter systems.

It would be odd for ESU to build a system for someone else which would compete directly with a product marketed under their own brand. If the Dynamis was directly plug-in-able to the ECoS it would take sales away from the Mobile Control for ECoS. It is most likely that the Dynamis will have to go through the ECoSniffer like all the other systems including the earlier versions of the Mobile Control. The Maerklin systems made by ESU often have compatibility issues being discussed on the ESU forum. Trix systems seem to be OK but Motorola systems seem to have some issues.

From what I have seen so far it seems that Dynamis is a wireless version of the Trix Mobile station with a couple of upgraded features.

Boy, I wish I got to choose what my wife gets me for Christmas

I do, we couldn't do it any other way.

I wonder why he didn't want it?
