Title: Dept. 56 Trolley
Post by: BIG BEAR on February 19, 2007, 12:36:02 AM

           I'm hoping to get some information on the On30 Department 56 trolley set, "retired" around 1994. Bachmann made this for D-56.
           Did this trolley switch directions on it's own? Looks like it has a built into bumper type switch.
           Also is the EZ track (white road bed) the same as the auto reversing track? There is no trolley barn but is it steel or N/S?

            Any info. would be greatly appreciated
   Thanks in advance
                   Barry

Dear Barry,
Yes, it was a mechanical bumper-type reverse. Happily retired!
Have fun!

         Hey B-man,
   I solved my dilemna, last weekend I Just purchased a new one at my LHS Annual Train Sale. I like the new one, with adjustable speed.
     Now the Cristmas village will have to stay up another month to "break it in"
