Title: Bachmann EZ Track and Turntables
Post by: AGRTERP4LIFE on February 04, 2008, 03:30:13 PM
Is Bachmann looking into offering a turntable?  I use the EZ Track and was wondering if Bachmann would ever offer a turntable.  Using other turntables requires cutting the EZ Track in order for it to fit.  I was just wondering if there was another way.

Thanks,

Richard

If you have a turntable made for EZ-track you will either have to cut the track or they will have to providean approach track between table and the lead track.

The EZ and regular Code 100 tracks are compatible.  Rather than cut your EZ, just add a short piece of Code 100 track (snap or flex) as an adapter/approach to the turntable.  The Code 100 ties will go over the locking tab on the EZ and the rails will join with no problem.

Fill in a roadbed under the short piece with foam or balsa.
