is there a piece that makes a road / track crossing

the box says that there is an interior switch to choose between rail and pantograph...where is it , the engine will not run, just took it out of the box to try it out and it won't move or the light won't come on either so it must be the switch

Will the Acela Express and the Berkshire 2-8-4 take a #5 switch or is it too tight of a turn out

My passenger cars have interior lighting and the ddc says it will control lighting but how if the passenger cars are not wired to the decoder

Seems like I read something on here about the Acela couplers but can't find it...are the couplers hard to find or are they just standard couplers

this set comes non dcc can it be converted to dcc and if so what is a rough guess at the cost

I am having issues with changing couplers on my rolling stock...not sure of the brand of cars but the ez mate couplers will not fit properly on any of them ... there is a lot of slop in the fitment, are there any spacers, the ez mate has pivot holes larger than the stub on the cars... I can do pics of the cars if necessary

can the power booster be used with just 1 or 2 engines or is it for a much bigger layout with several locos

what is the length (inches) of the #6 left & right turnouts

is this a bargain http://cgi.ebay.com/Bachmann-EZ-Command-DCC-System-w-0-6-0-Painted-Unletter_W0QQitemZ390136488336QQcmdZViewItemQQptZModel_RR_Trains?hash=item5ad5f26190

can 2 identical engines run on dcc together , by 2 I mean 2 ... 2-8-0 consolidated NYC 1136 thanks in advance

will the ez mate 2 couplers work with the ez mate couplers

can I get an extension wire for switches and crossovers to run them under the table so they will be hidden or should I cut them and make them longer by personal engineering here's a pic in progress 

there is a problem with my new spectrum engine ... it is making a grinding noise...best I can describe it  as it goes along so I removed the wheels and the bottom of the boiler has a "gap" along the length of it ...wondering if this is normal or the problem...if needed I can get a video of it and post it also <a href="http://s211.photobucket.com/albums/bb165/nitroburnr/?action=view&current=IMG_8246.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb165/nitroburnr/IMG_8246.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>  ...  <a href="http://s211.photobucket.com/albums/bb165/nitroburnr/?action=view&current=IMG_8247.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb165/nitroburnr/IMG_8247.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

does DCC give better low speed control or does that depend on the quality of the engine or the quality of the decoder , also will it change the top speed of the engine...not that I want it any faster cause I don't and if it does, is the top speed controllable as far as setting a lower max

are they sold separately so I can attempt to put one on the front of the Berkshire...my little 4yo don't miss a trick man

this is the first of many to follow...please note the 12 vw's watching the train go by...every vw is a Herbie as in Love Bug and those are a set of 12 that Santa delivered

I would like to say thanks to all who has given me advise and put up with my numerous questions...also Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good life

I know this is just a novelty but for $27.00 shipped its pretty cool http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250424962943&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

do all couplers meet up evenly (from car to car) as far as being body mount or truck mount or are they different heights from the rails
