Before I place this crossover in line on the layout...I need some advice.  I have no idea if this is DCC friendly as it does not reference that on the packaging.  Another concern I have is the use of insulated frogs....this one appears to be all metal and states that the frogs are electrically wired.  Any help with this would be very appreciated.  Thank You

Has anyone used this type of cleaning car with the Dry Cleaning method before? 

I have a concern on installing sound to these SD40-2's.   I just received 2 of these today and was wondering how much trouble would it be to add sound!  Having never did this before, I was concerned about the installation and what problems I may encounter.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The GP7 and GP9 both have 6 axles that I know of...but before I buy into this model...what are the chances they will perform on an existing 18" turn? Has anyone had experiences with these models derailing?

I am attempting to use percolated coffee grounds as ballast in my large New River Coal yard. The color is perfect for a heavily oiled track-bed. The problem I encounter is that, since there are oils in the coffee grounds, the regular ballasting methods of applying alcohol followed by a diluted glue solution will not keep all the grounds together. After drying, when I use a vacuum to suck up the excess, some large pieces of ballast are removed. Obviously the oil effect of the coffee grounds doesn't allow for good adhesion...Scenic Cement is another failure.  What can I do to remove the oil from the grounds prior to ballasting?"

I have been reading this page on Superelevation  http://www.trackplanning.com/superelevation.htm  as I am wondering if there is a chance I can apply it to my existing EZ Track!  It has good information on using Styrene and other materials, sizes, etc  ... but nothing about where to apply it...must I remove the roadbed from beneath the track?

I am a bit confused as to which types of loco's were used when the change was made from Steam to Diesel...I have been told everything from GP-20's too GP-40's on up

I am trying to keep this layout as it is called "scaled realism"  not going to throw just any loco on the track.  Appreciate the help

I would like to remove 2 pieces of 9" EZ Track...form a lake...then use a bridge with a shallow span, but cannot find any Bachmann Tressles or Bridges 18" in length....does Bachmann manufacture these?

I have a question that may have been answered before but not really sure...sorry if I missed it.  I am running 4 Bachmann HO Scale EZ Track Nickel Silver Remote Switches under DC with not too much problems....these switches are for DC.  I want to convert to DCC and wondering if I am going to get into trouble with these switches?  The switches are connected to the transformer for accessories.  Any help would be appreciated before I start this conversion.

Need some information on these turnouts.

I am using 4 E-Z Track remotes to run a double oval but the only problem is the distance from the actual switch to my board.  Are there plug-in extensions for these?  I am looking for at least a 10 foot, 3 wire green extension.

Thanks
Marvin
