General Discussion / eZ COMMAND WIRING
March 26, 2015, 04:42:17 PM
I just bought a dcc set and everything is okay.  I have a problem that I s[ent many hours trying to fix.  I has a  dogbone shaped.  reverse loop on each end connected by a single track. My problem is this.  The loco enters either loop okay but when it enters the connecting track the engine doesn't just stall it slams to dead stop, I have to assume that it goes out of phase with the connecting track.  Without going to the expenses of buying expensive automatic reversing modules, is it possible to manually.  I have looked everywhere I can think of books, internet etc..  Can this be done if so how?  The layout was already completed when I wanted to use dcc. 
A[ pieces of information,  both ends of both loops are isolated on both ends of the loop  This is my first layout so I'm stumped.  Any help would be appreciated

General Discussion / track problems

I am having a track problem.  I have a switch that is driving you crazy.  It is doing what I want to call "splitting the switch."  With switch set to go left ( I physically check it )  the loco will go right.  the polarity of the track is correct,  in fact the right siding is dead ( turned off).  I can not get to go the left track.. Thanks for the help

HO / ho f7/f9

I have a issue with the drive train on f7/f9's  Recently two that I have started  to vibrate and are both very noisy, they sometimes will even not move.  I checked the drive trucks and all the gears are okay.  I checked the drive  shafts: one is a dual flywheel the other is a single.  Checking the shafts and they appear need to be replaced, okay I will order them from Bachmann, fine.  My problem though the coupling part inside the flywheels also show some wear, that could count for the noise  .  I have another 2 month f7 and you can barely  it running.Does anyone know to get them.  I have talked to Bachmann and they told me they are not avaliable.  Both of these are fairly recent produced.  Any ideas out there, it would be a shame, and expensive to have to replace them.

More info
both are dc.
