HO / Adhesive To Use For Kadee Magnetic Uncoupler
August 31, 2023, 10:20:39 AM
Recommended? Would like to be able to remove in the future if necessary.

I don't believe they're screws but nails to attach the turnout control to a base. Notice the 'holes' on each side of the turnout control.

HO / Remove Shell On HO Toby
August 17, 2023, 12:12:32 PM
I have a lightly used Toby that is beginning to 'squeal' a little, mainly in reverse. How do I remove the shell to get to the motor for a lube job. The are 3 screws on the bottom of the motor assembly.
Thanks to all that respond.

I have had a number of EZ-Track turnout solenoids bite the dust over the years. Are there any after market switch-stands that will adapt to the EZ-Track turnouts? They're within reach of the control area.

Bachmann charge would be $35 per their website.

jward,
Thanks for getting back. It is the relay under the roadbed. Layout is mounted on 1/2" MDF. I've had several stop working.
I think an under table motor can be adapted. I guess I'll look into it.
Thanks,
Bob

HO / EZ Track Turnout Relays

Does Bachmann offer replacement turnout relays? I've had a couple of them quit working properly. They will only work in one direction. If not available can anyone suggest a replacement that will work (even if under table).

Thanks

HO / EZ Track Switch Crossover
March 18, 2021, 03:46:50 PM
2 questions.

1. Does Bachmann make a dual wire adapter so that 2 green switch wires can be plugged into it and then run to a single switch
   controller? I made some of my own extensions using telephone cable but the green switch wire has a hard time seating in the
    4 pin telephone plug in order to crimp. You waste a lot of 4 pin connectors.  I was told a long time ago to solder. I'm just trying
    to save time.

2. I just installed 2 #5 turnouts to form a crossover. My 4-6-2 stalls on one of them at the frog. Frog is not powered (DCC) as
   instructed. I have several other #5s and don't have the problem. Any Suggestions.

    Ignore this question. I removed the turnout from the layout and put it in a test track. It worked ok. Put it back in the layout
    and it seems to work ok. Your guess is as good as mine.

Eddy, I have no way of knowing. Batteries are fresh. There isn't a signal strength meter. Distance seems to vary. Angle of handheld to receiver also seems to vary.

Jonathan,
I have several steamers with the same leading truck problem. If the wheels are out of gage how do you fix it? I'm relatively new to HO and I don't want to mess something up.

HO / Re: What is Electronic Auto Reversing Track?
February 02, 2021, 05:00:17 PM
You will need the Auto-Reverse Loop Module #44912 and a gapped Power Track (Straight 44548 or Curved 44549). You can make the other end of the loop by cutting a gap through both rails of any piece of track you choose. Just follow the directions that come with the Reverse Loop Module. The loop can be as short or long as you want as long as it will accommodate you longest train between the gapped rails.

Are you referring to Ringling Brothers?

I've got the full complement (as far as I know). Bought most of them at a local dealer.
EnterTRAINment Junction north of Cincinnati. Remainder on eBay.
