To thoepf: 

EZ track radius curves available: 
15"
18"
22"
26"
28"
33 1/4"
35 1/2" 

My grandson and I have repeatedly used them all to run tracks through as many as 4 rooms and hallways in our house in a variety of patterns over the past 3 years using EZ command and no extra feeder wires.   Grandma's tolerance for track underfoot is max 2 weeks at a time, then she likes the house track free for a couple of months.    Great fun! 
 

Reply to Henry: 

The 2 1/4" straight EZ track pieces are manufactured with snap-off grooves in the undersides of the ballast specifically for tight fitting turnouts and crossings.  No cutting needed, just a supply of these pieces.   The #5 and #6 turnouts tend to be temperamental but can be improved with some fine tuning. 

Good luck,

Bump to Bach-Man re: wire rating and safety of EZ Command red power wire from 5 amp booster to EZ track. 

Thanks, Hunt.  No, I don't know the max amps actually drawn during my test.   So I definitely want to keep the question active to Bach-Man for an official statement about the safety of using the power red wire at the full rating of the 5 amp power booster. 

Update: I just finished testing EZ command connected to 5 amp booster connected to HO ez track with standard red power wire.  I put all my 16  DCC with sound locos on the main track, 7 consists of 2 each and 2 singles for a total of 9 addresses.  Locos were a mix of steam and diesel with manufacturer installed sound in 7 BLI, 2 Bachmann Spectrum, 2 Lionel, 1 Athearn Genesis, 1 MTH, 1 Proto 2K, and LHS installed ESU/Loksounds in 1 Kato and 1 Jouef.

I kept all consists and singles moving independently at slow speeds, with all horns and whistles blowing and all headlights on for @5 minutes.   Made for a noisy Easter Sunday!  Couldn't feel any appreciable heat in the red power wire.  As my previous dcc/sound loco limit with EZ Command alone was 3, I was impressed with the new booster's performance! 
   

Thanks, Hunt.   You're right.   Wiring safety is the primary concern.  Bach-man? 

Bach-man,

Just to confirm, you attached the bare ends of the standard red wire to the Booster and the plug end to the EZ terminal rerailer, right?   

Thanks,
Dave

PS:

Can an MRC 9500 analog controller be plugged into the EZ Command Center "from DC controller" port for DC control or does it have to be a #44605 Bachmann analog controller? 

To the Bach-man: 

I just got the 5 amp booster.  The supplied  track connector black wires appear to be heavy gauge and are bare wire at both ends.  Can I splice those to the much lighter gauge bare wire ends of the EZ track red connector wire (supplied with the EZ Command Center) which then plugs into an EZ track terminal rerailer?   

The instructional DVD with the booster does not show how the booster connects with EZ track.  The black track wires from the booster disappear behind a table and a red track wire emerges from behind the table and plugs into the EZ track terminal rerailer.   

Thanks,

Dave

Any chance of an HO model/set in the future?  Sure would be a nice companion to the Bachman John Bull set. 

Has anybody tried the Bachmann EZ Command 5 amp booster? 

Thanks,
Dave
