ECoS 50200
ESU
$725.00
List $999.90

The ECoS 50200 is already the second generation of our successful ECoS command station. With the latest ECoS command station, ESU continues to offer state-of-the-art digital technology combined with contemporary functional range and easy handling all this for a fair price-performance ratio. The ECoS has - like most of the recent central stations - a large colored display with high resolution.

Discover the fascinating possibilities of the ECoS command station on the following pages. But take heed: ECoS performance is so good, that even we had to re-read a few passages to believe it!
