HO / car separation
February 20, 2023, 09:53:58 AM
i am using ez-track and all equipment is less than 2 years old. everything runs fine for about 5 minutes but then eventually cars separate. i have clipped off those bleeping wires hanging down intended for remote decoupling which never works anyhow. i have also spent a good deal of time checking wheel separation using one of those metal gauge thingies u stick between the wheels.

i suspect the problem stems from the turnouts but i just cant figure out how.

all suggestions welcome.

General Discussion / couplers
February 17, 2023, 11:14:43 AM
i hate the bachmann ez-mate couplers. the wire that hangs down (to permit automatic decoupling which never works anyhow) has a habit of catching on the ez-track turnouts causing derailments or car separation. so i tried removing the wire and guess what - the entire coupler fell apart.

HELP!

Please. any ideas other than replacing everything.
