I recently bought a spectrum 4-6-0 that runs on DCC. It runs fine on the oval track but when it is in the center of the crossover switch, it momentarily halts completely and then starts again.
My other locos don't do this. The 4-6-0 does this with all the crossovers on my layout. Is there something wrong with the loco I got or is a 4-6-0 not able to negotiate the bachmann crossover switches?

The center frog of the crossover is not powered.

Thanks

I recently purchased a #5 turnout and am wondering how to connect track to the straight and side section of the turnout at the same time. The two pieces of the track overlap and dont fit. Any suggestions?

Hello,

I am trying to a branch line connection to my main line using #6 turnouts to get a layout like this.

         ================
        /                                    \
==========================

I assume i need to curved track sections to hook up to both the #6 turnouts and then use straight sections to join the top part.

Any suggestions on what kind of curved section is needed? i think it might be 1/3 of 18 inch curve or 1/2 of 22 inch curve.

Thanks

What is the length of the short straight section that comes with the #6 DCC turnout?

Thanks

Does Bachmann make a 22" radius DCC turnout? If not, what are my options for adding a turnout to a 22" radius oval track?

Thanks

I am curious to know if i can use the regular DCC turnout (with 18" radius) interchangeably with the #4 turnout.
If i had an oval of 18" curves, I am assuming i could replace one of the curves with a DCC turnout.
Can i do the same with a #4 turnout and would it still fit?

Thanks
Amit

Will the HO Acela or Amtrak pass under the Bachmann 14 piece HO pier bridge set with the pantograph extended?
If not, will the 18 piece set work?

Thanks

I have a NCE powercab and i am wondering if i can use it to control Bachmann DCC turnout and crossover switches.

Thanks

Could someone with a 2-6-6-2 HO steam locomotive measure its length from coupler to coupler (without tender) and let me know please?

How do people find the dimensions of Bachmann engines before purchasing?

Thanks

Could someone with a HO Bachmann 2-10-2 measure their engine from coupler to coupler (not the tender) and let me know the length?
I could not find this info on the Bachmann site

Thanks

I realize that #5 turnout has a bigger turning radius than #4. But what is the difference between a regular DCC turnout and the #4 turnout?
44130 vs 44139

Thanks

Anyone know the difference between these two acela sets - 01202 vs 01204?
