Title: crossing
Post by: Daylight4449 on May 23, 2008, 09:55:18 AM
i just think people should know that the crossing i have which i believe is 20 degrees nd is made for ez track is the only bachmann product that doesn't work. it doesn't put power to the other side and even with it in  a loop it has a huge dead spot making my small locos stop. other than that i jove this company but that prodduct desn't seem to work.

Add some feeder wires.

Just checked catalog no such animal as 20 degree crossing. However, have you checked continuity of rails ? Take either a VOM  or a continuity tester to determine if you an electrical connection through the crossing from one side to the other.  If no continuity you have defective track , if you have continuity you probably do need another feeder .

it is not even designed with one and the rail don't all rcieve power so even powering the one on each side won't power the middle rails resulting in a stopped loco.
