Title: DC & DCC with EZ Track
Post by: New ChooChoo on December 20, 2010, 07:40:10 AM
I am curently in the process of updating my HO layout to DCC. I have all EZ track and was wondering....all EZ track, including switches....is it all compatible with DCC? I thought it better to ask questions first before I go too  far.

Yes! If you want you can actually get new E-Z switches with DCC in them and control them with your DCC controler. I'm not sure about the auto reverse track working with it but an auto reverse unit is only compatible with DCC. The track and revese unit are two different things. The auto track lets something go back and forth on one track without havin to change the direction while the reverse loop modual allows you to make areversing loop.

If your turnouts are already wired to the Regular power pack already and work,   I would just leave them as is (why reinvent the the wheel?).  You can use your DCC controller to run the trains and the coventional power back to operate your switching.
