Can someone please tell me which Rails go to Rail A and B on Bachmann Power Terminal Rwrailer to the electrical prongs on Bachmann Curved Terminal Rerailer?
Which Prong goes to Rail "A" and which Prong goes to Rail "B"
I have to place drop power feeders at the other end of my layout
and I have to make sure to match Rail A with A and Rail B with B
I could pull up the track and take it apart but not an option.

Please see EZ-TRACK Terminal  ???picture.

My fellow Bachmann friends.
I purchased a NEW Bachmann
HO EMD E7 Burlington Route Locomotive
From a vendor that is DEFECTIVE. >:(
I am the first time owner purchased it retail
The Problem is the vendor does not have a replacement
I can swap out because they have sold out.

Vendor Recommended returning it to Bachmann since
Its NEW and I am 1st time owner of the locomotive.
I made a video shown here as proof whats wrong:

The vendor was really trying to make things right. My only option is to send to Bachmann its NEW and still under warranty as I just purchased it new and retail. They just dont have the same model and will not be getting any new in.

QUESTION: What is Bachmann ability to swap out something like this with a new or repair? Even with the Pandemic are they Closed?

Are we looking at a really long wait?
Kind Regards,

HUGE QUESTION? #MTHonEZcommandDCC
Has there ever been any issues running a MTH HO Proto Sound3(PS3) on a Bachmann EZ Command DCC controller?

I just purchased a MTH HO (NEW) DASH-9 Locomotive and it WILL NOT MOVE or Power Up even in F3 mode or PressingF3. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Note For budget reasons I use EZ-COMMAND DCC. My Bachmann EZ-COMMAND DCC is the latest version runs existing other DCC Locomotives with no Issues. Here is a view of my DCC+DC 7x4 Layout:

Please Advise... Or Do I send the Locomotive back to MTH?
Have tried all their trouble shooting... and still NOTHING!

Just curious if there are known issues running  Bachmann EZ-COMMAND DCC controller MTH Locomotives

6 months ago I purchased a Bachmann HO Scale EMD GP40 Locomotive Train Diesel Santa Fe Flyer DCC. It was new but from a vendor on ebay. It ran really great for a while but now its broken. It suddenly stopped  working! I checked the wiring..all good. Lights come on. It just doesn't reverse. Or hesitation moving forward or nothing. Just lights. Wheeles and tracks clean.

Where do I send it for Repairs? Will it cost me an arm and leg?

General Discussion / How To Ballast EZ TRACK Tutorial
February 17, 2019, 01:10:32 AM
After much testing and thought, I wanted to share how I've found a way to Ballast EZ-TRACK without it looking like a powdery mess on your layout. For me this worked. Advise practice on a few tracts after watching my video. But my work around to Ballast EZ-TRACK in minutes will work.

Sharing this Video Tutorial I created:
https://youtu.be/5Vty0jGvN5E

IMPORTANT: One should only Ballast EZ Track after you are 100% Confident your layout is in place. Leave the sections you are unsure if they will change as unballasted. This video may not work for everyone, but I feel its the best simplist video out there that doesn't make EZ-TRACK look like a powder mess when ballasting EZ-TRACK.

Just trying to help out fellow modelers and save them some time.

Enjoy Everyone!

Kind Regards...

Hi All
Need some advise,
I purchased a really beautiful never opened sealed Bachmann 660 HO Santa Fe #3781 Northern 4-8-4 Steam Locomotive with Smoke from Ebay. Its in excellent condition but the Smoke drops do not activate the Smoke Unit. I even let it run for an hour and still NO SMOKE. The Locomotive had been sealed for many years never opened.

QUESTION TO THE FORUM: Any suggestions to get the smoke unit to work? Could the Smoke Fluid be too old even if sealed for many years? Do I try more recent Smoke Fluid Purchased from Bauchmann which is Bauchmann Item No. 00251 ? Please addvise? Thx
