Title: ATT: The Bach-man

The Bach-man

Regarding the new Bachmann Turntable. I just finished helping out another model railroader with a couple of glitches he encountered when hooking up his new turntable.

If you could pass along a couple of things.  It wouldn't hurt to improve the provided instructions to reflect that operating the turntable with a DC controller and the layout with a DCC controller  is a third option. We were even told by Bachmann Tech Support that this could not be done. Bachmann Support said the only two choices were totally DC or DCC with the installation of a decoder.

And, the provided cable, that goes between the turntable direction controller and the turntable is way to short.  That cable needs to be twice the current length, at least. Either the cable should be longer or a note added to plainly indicate that a red 10' Extenstion is required for DC operation of the turntable.
