DIGITRAX NEW VERSION OF ZEPHYR DCS52
Almost everything seems to work. the instructions were clear. I was up and running in 10 minutes. I haven't tried programming mode yet. The only thing so far is the X (STOP) button does not seem to work. I'm going to reread the manual and see if it's me.

Awesome
What a great experience. Item was in stock and was a quick ship and receive. I’ve shopped for this item for several years and was not disappointed. AND I saved money with this purchase. Even better!

It does a great job. I'm still learning how to use it.
I have 4 engines. So it definitely is nice to be able to program all of them and be able to do so many things.

Upgrading from a Bachmann EZ Command to Zephyr Express
The screen and buttons are well lit. Between the excellent user manual and the info displayed on the screen; setting up and running five trains was easy. The manual provided clear instruction to fix a weird acting light on a locomotive as well. Knowing the potential of what I can do with the DCS52 made this an excellent choice.

Digitrax starter set
So far great, it’s a learning curve. Not too difficult to operate.
