HO / Power booster and DCC command
December 21, 2013, 08:28:16 PM
Hi folks.  After my kids get so many different trains, I finally broke down and get the Bachmann power booster.  I am having trouble on how to hook up the wires to the track.  The wires come with the booster is bare on both side.  I don't see where I can screw the wire in on the track.  I have another set of wire which has a plug on one end and bare on the other end but it is much thinner than the one come with the booster.  Is it safe to use those wires?  Those wires come from Bachmann first train track set.
Thanks in advance.

HO / Digital Commander set and Thomas Holiday set
December 14, 2013, 06:01:36 PM
Hi folks.  After putting the commander set together, my son now want the Deluxe Thomas Holiday set to run underneath the tree.  Is this set compatible with the Commander set?  Is it any Bachmann HO electric train can run on the commander set?  I notice the tracks are different; one is nickel silver e-z track and the other is just e-z track?  Can I combine them together?
On a different note, I just got the Bachmann 62105 Ho EMD DD40AX for the set.  The train run great but I notice there is a small electronic chips come in a separate bag.  The instruction didn't say what to do with it and I can't find any information for it.  Anyone has this train and know what it is?

Thanks in advance.

HO / EZ command power booster
December 13, 2013, 11:55:27 AM
Hi folks.  Thanks to this group, I am able to put together my first train set with a 9 by 5 layout.  I start out with the Digital Commander Ready set, expander set and the first railroad set.  I add in the DCC remote turnout and 2 more train with sound.  It run great and my kids are really happy.  I just order another train but I read that with 5 trains I need a power booster.  Is that correct?  It cost around 200 and more.  Is it a good investment?  Is it difficult to put it together with the Digital Commander?
Thanks in advance.

HO / EZ Command and remote turn out
November 29, 2013, 05:38:46 PM
Hi folks.  I just purchased the Digital Command Train set and the expander set.  I notice there is a remote turn out in expander set.  I didn't find any information in how to connect remote turn out to the Digital Commander.  Is it possible to use those remote turn out or I need to get the DCC turn out?  This is my first train set and I was hoping to set it up for my kids for the holiday.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
