Title: EZ Track DCC Turnouts Request
Post by: quryous on March 04, 2010, 10:18:52 AM
Is there any prospect that Bachmann will soon put out dual radius DCC turnouts of various kinds, and a three way split in DCC? I am constantly finding places where I could really use them, especially the dual radius DCC turnouts.

There is no reason that you can't "Mix and Match" with different brands of track.  Walthers/Shinohara makes a line of wonderful DCC friendly turnouts that includes  curved and three-way configurations.  Peco also has curved turnouts, single and double slip switches, etc.  Cork roadbed will get the track up to EZ Track height.  Then you need switch machines and stationary decoders to control them.  There is a little work involved compared to the RTR solution, but it's not hard and your reward is that you get just what you want.  Good Luck.
