It's time for a test drive:
1: Soldered 2 rail connectors to 2 wires.
2: Connected the wires to a length of flex track and to the Ecos.
3: Manually added a 'new loc' to the Ecos: select DCC28 protocol (the decoder type in the loc) and enter the loc address.

It's as easy as that! Throttle up and ... there it goes! :) Ecos throttle works very smoothly and the loc runs very smoothly.

One thing I found missing on the Ecos is a button or a joystick movement that sets the speed back to zero. It can be done via rotating the throttle back, or by tapping zero on the scree speed dial, yet I would like to also be able to use e.g. 'joystick down' for that. Joystick functions can not be freely programmed alas.
