That doesn't surprise me, Jack. Despite several accounts to the contrary, I really am rather pleased with my Bachmann purchases and service -Europe and American - all at competitive prices too.
I purchased my EZ DCC unit from a small retailer in the Warrington area for a very competitive price; it had been used by the proprietor merely for demonstration purposes of the new DCC fitted locos, so when he offered it to me, I almost ripped his hand off ( I purchased a Hornby LMS 8F loco from an online auction site which had erroneously been advertised as DC, which on arrival turned out to be DCC operated and which wouldn't work with my Gaugemaster DC controller, hence my purchase). I'd intended to build my proposed British layout to DCC and purchase all locos required appropriately fitted, however, in light of the success with the Black Cat controller, I'm rethinking my decision - sound doesn't really do it for me, anyway
