Title: Department 56
Post by: bbmiroku on January 17, 2018, 04:50:26 PM
So, a while ago I bought the train, cars, and box to the Bachmann/Department 56 Heritage Village train.
So far, I've been able to buy the proper type of controller box and almost all the right (Bachmann) track.  But one piece still eludes me.  A straight section, 9", rerailer.  But not a rerailer/terminal.

The question is, was this the only set that had this particular piece of track?

Cool, they do have them.  I suppose I could use the EZTrack if I had to, but the rest of the track (and what the box will fit) is non-EZ.  I don't believe Bachmann sells non-EZ tracks anymore.  Is that correct?

If you are going to be running this set on the floor, I would suggest replacing the track with EZ-Track that locks together. If you will be fastening the track you've got down to a table, you could use an Atlas #844 rerailer.

Actually, I'm planning to re-sell the set.  I have the Atlas Rerailer, and it's a perfect match to the hole in the box.  But I'll keep looking into meets and hoping to find one in the track boxes.
