Hello all;
I was a HO user of Bachmann ez track. Downside I had 'plans' to try but lacked the table space. So I'm slowly migrating to N scale. Hence my screen name. ;) I have 2 auto reverse modules that state they are able to be used for N scale.
My question is can I use the same modules or are there modules specific to N scale? Also is it safe to assume that there is the same special track pieces in N as in HO?
They should work just fine.
I use the same bachmann modules for N scale and G scale I just adjust them for the respective scales.

Look at the Bachmann E-Z Command DCC Automatic Reversing Loop Modules you have and reread the instructions. There is a setting for N Gauge.

Do not assume anything about Bachmann products. ;)
Click Here (http://shop.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=265_422) for a list with description of current production N gauge Bachmann E-Z Track - nickel silver track with gray roadbed. Bachmann current production turnouts are all routes live, while their older production N turnouts are the power routing type. The Bachmann N gauge turnouts can be more problematic than their HO ones.
Okay, I guess the question should have been is there any EZ track, that has the insulated gap already in it (i.e. 44597 in HO) for N scale? Additionally If the answer to the previous question is 'yes' then what is the part number. I've been through the N scale track listing with no success. Lastly, at least for now, is there specific wires to attach the module to the track? I don't think the wires I have for the HO will fin on an N scale piece of track. ;D
Thanks to all of you for your responses.
No mo HO
Rather then buy a new piece of track, you can use a modeling saw to cut a gap in the rail where ever you need it.
After cutting the gap some people glue a peice of paper or card board in the gap to assure it doesn't close. Then they trim it away.
I just cut the gap then squeeze in some glue, after it dries I just clean the extra away with an exacting knife, I've never had an issue doing it this way.
