Title: Reverse Trolley Help
Post by: Joe1997 on November 26, 2025, 06:31:09 PM
I'm trying to do a little tabletop back and forth trolley, but it doesnt seem to be working. It's all bachmann EZ track, with two reversing tracks on each end. It just goes straight. What am I doing wrong?

Check to be sure you do not have one of the A-B reversing section install backwards. Both of the gaps in the A-B sections should be on the same rail.

Well this is weird I don't even think I have B's at all. This pack has all A's?? Sorry I know almost nothing about this stuff. It didnt specify on the packaging. Where do I find the proper tracks?

There should be two track pieces labeled 'A' on one end and 'B' on the other. These are the sections with the gaps that trigger the reversing action.  All the other sections should be labeled 'A' on both ends and have the black channel on the bottom that carries the wires connecting the reversing module to the 'A'-'B' track sections.

The special reversing track 18" radius curves are item 44549.
The special reversing track 9" straights are item 44548.

Regular EZ-Track, without the connecting wires will not work properly with the reversing unit unless you add the additional wires yourself.

In order for it to work You need to buy the Auto-Reversing complete kit - one A/B section will be hardwired to the special controller
