Title: Converting mechanical EZ Track turnouts to electrical
Post by: slowhand on October 08, 2010, 10:35:13 PM
Is it possible to convert mechanical EZ Track turnouts to electrical?  I have several turnouts that I would like to convert.  I couldn't find a separate electrical switch mechanism on the Bachmann website.  Is it even sold separate?

Do you mean manual to electric? If so, it likely can be done, but I am not sure all that it entails, but Bachmann does not sell it separately, you would have to buy new turnouts which would defeat the purpose.

Dear Slow,
You could use under table mounted switch machines, like Tortoise. Micro-Mark has linkages you can use'
Have fun!
