The Pros and cons of the Ecos 

Very cool video, Richard. The ECoS and Märklin Central Station (1, 2, 3) are identical in just about every real sense of usage and utility. Also in price. The Märklin CS3 is probably a step ahead now of the ESU ECoS (even 50200) with it's expandability, but both are the elite for layout control, as you can run them even with the high end computer systems, and event he digikeijs stuff can be tuned right into them

thanks for that video help full

Ha! I wish I had found this earlier. I was just looking at the ESU and Digitrax systems. In the end I went with Digitrax partly for the cost and partly for their popularity around here. I do have a small layout with eight points so not too bad to keep track of. My last layout was forty years ago and I feel I may be in over my head! lol

Good review, thank you. Is it possible to use digitrax block detectors with ESU ecos through lnet adapter?

Nice n easy to use i love it i came away from a lenz set 90 but now the touch screen has gone

Thank you for your video.

I wonder if you help with a problem I'm having, Ive just purchased a ecos controller and I have been adding my loco's, but when I tried to add loco's with a bachmann chip I get a symbol in the display dcc with a half green bar, the system reads the chip ok, but no control, any suggests?

What a pity you don’t mention the second world war attitude of Esu, the mother company. Just forcing buyers to subscribe before you can download Upgrades as a newbuyer is as conservative as Germans can get. Secondly the manual in various forms and translations is about as educational as Basil in his Torquai hotel. Finally, the workbenches on RU-vid are so basic and explained in a manner that you feel that even the makers, including yourself haven’t a clue how to make things understandable. I’m not brainless and have worked with model trains, including Live Steam, for sixty years, but it took me a week to get a Littfinski R-88-n to shuttle a train for one end to the other. On one thing we can agree. ESU have made a wonderful piece of kit. Pity, it takes days, weeks, months to get stuff going.
