ESU Command Station

Posted

Just looking for some opinions, I want to upgrade my current DCC control. Im looking at the ESU 50220 Command Station IRM are offering. The spec reads well, but it is expensive compared to other systems. 

Is anyone using this? Is the ESU 50116 Mobile Control Pro Wireless a good add-on?

I went with the ESU having used Hornby, Gaugemaster, NCE, Roco/Z21 in the past. I think it is a great command station and much prefer it over the others that I have tried. The rotary knobs was one of the biggest selling points for me, as they adjust automatically when you switch loco. The screen is clear, and although it is a bit cumbersome in comparison to say the Z21 when setting up a loco initially, I find that the options that the system gives were far superior to the alternatives. I had intended to get the mobile throttle to go with it, but have not spent enough time running on more than a four foot length of track to require the mobile throttle. The dual controls on the main command station are enough at the moment, and allow two locos to be controlled simultaneously (if you have a bit of coordination).
