Can you buy 2 sets, connect and run them?

Yes you can. You can use all the track, one controller and assign all locos to that controller to run them.

Can I plug the DCC system into my Life-like track

Yes you can! If you have the power loc track, the easiest way is to just buy the life-like track adapter and hook in the terminal re-railer section, The ez command pugs right in to re-railer. If you have the room, you could also use the track adapter to attach some or all of the track up to your existing layout. If you have the old style Ho track, you can use the included adapter, at least i think one comes with the set, to connect up the ez command station to your old layout. don't forget to disconnect your old power pack(s) from the track first! Hope this helps!

I have a different bachmann set that uses steel alloy ez track. i noticed this set is nickel. can the work together for the same track?

Yes they are interchangeable.. This is a wonderful set .. We use it for our train store as well as our train club..

Can you use 2 controler to control each locomotive separately? What aditional controller can i get for it to control the second train?

It's dcc set it has one controller for both trains and you can add trains and use the same controller As long as it's dcc and Beckman
