Reply to "Has Anyone bought or used - Zimo & ESU ECos DCC Systems?"

I understood that you directly connected your ECoS command station to the track but going through the ESU website, they offer ECoSBoost DCC Amplifier in an 8-amp version for larger scales. Would you know when this amplifier is needed? Is it needed for running multiple O-Scale locomotives at one time, or is it recommended for programing decoders or is it only needed for really large layouts?

Thanks,

Naveen

Naveen, thanks a lot. The Ecos is a wonderful system. You don't need the booster to program decoders or run multiple locomotives. I have run up to 4 MTH locos on 20ft of track w/out issues. You only need the booster for large layouts in my experience. I will buy one when my layout asks for it.
