Gosh I thought someone would know. I see others are having trouble programming Bachmann turnouts with supposedly compatable control systems. I just dont want to invest in one system and then find I need the Dynamis pro system. :o

Is the Roco Multicentral Pro controller and Rocomotion software compatable with Bachmann DCC turnouts?
#3
Thanks for the advice. I measured the #6 turnout and it is exactly 10 degrees. By trimming I meant taking 2 degrees out of the roadbed and retaining the clips either end but one piece of rail on top.

Great thanks. I can probably glue the roadbed of 4 degrees worth to a 6 and retain the clips and add a couple of rail joiners.

Thanks both of you. Anyrail is brilliant and easy to use. The 10 degrees is about right but Bachmann only have 6 and 12 degrees which when assembled in Anyrail gives a diverging track or a converging. Seems my solution is a cross-over or two #6 turn outs back to back. Any other ideas how to achieve this? I can see me signing up for the full use version of anyrail.

I am using 35.5" and 33.25" curves to construct two parallel tracks. I am using #6 DCC turn outs and crossovers.
How many degrees of 35.5 or 32.5 curved track do I need to run a parallel track from the #6  turn out?

Many thanks for the information and links.

Thanks for ththe quick reply. I did manage to catch and print a msge with pics on how to do it which appeared on the Bachmann China forum . But its all in Chinese. However, the driving unit is the dining car - the centre of five cars with plenty of space. The images show an eight pin connector but not what is on the other end in the way of the decoder. The only instructions on the accompanying paperwork state " remove the dummy plug in the dining car and install the ddcc compatible decoder."
I will do a search for the Digitrax DH123P.

thanks

Can anyone advise me which DCC decoder  do I purchase to change my Bachmann CHina CRH3 trainset to DCC?

thanks
