Well, BradKT, at least a couple of people tried to answer your actual questions.  ;)

To add to that, Bachmann's N Scale 60 degree crossing has 1" adaptors. Are y'all talking about N Scale?
No, we talking HO, but I guess you're right, it can't be just one inch, though the towerhobbies site does say one inch.  You know who should know and say--Bachmann!

I can confirm that the 90 degree crossing 1" adaptors are truly 1" and are just like all other EZ track.  Since my grandson and I like double crossings, we've got "a bunch" of crossings and the 1" track pieces with them. Those 1" pieces come in real handy at times. 
Thanks for the info.

I dont thing there an inch plus it says ataptors  But maybe you can use a combination of tracks to pick up that inch Like two 5 inch pcs. instead of on standard 9 inch straight track
I don't know.  It says they are one inch and they look like EZ track pieces to me.

Thanks, I was wondering if those X adapters were an inch.

HO / Re: Crossing signal

It's mechanical and I'm afraid to report it's pretty crappy.  The arms bob up and down while the train goes by.  It's may be fun for a child's set, but I regret having bought it.

HO / 1 inch EZ track
January 28, 2008, 06:22:02 PM
I see a EZ Track plan on Thortrains that calls for two 1 inch EZ tracks.  Is there such a thing?  If I need to make one how do I cut through the track and plastic roadbed?

Thank you.  Why/when is one used over another?

HO / #5 Turnout--what is it?
January 25, 2008, 07:02:37 PM
What's the difference between the EZ Track standard turnout and the #5 turnout?

Thanks,

And why we're on it, why is it "pre loved"?  Is it no longer loved?  ;)

HO / Can't figure out how to wire EZ track switches
January 11, 2008, 09:55:54 PM
I got the First Track Set back with 4 switching tracks.  I can't figure out how they are to be wired to work.  I have the EZ Command controller.  I also have a separate inexpensive DC controller with a 16 volt output.  Surprised that there are no instructions in the box--only on how to hook up EZ track.

Succinct!  Thank you.

HO / Can someone explain track radius to me?
January 09, 2008, 01:55:23 PM
For example, I don't understand why a track is called 22" radius instead of in degrees.

Here is a re-print of the FAQ from the Dynamis Web site:

Some answers about Dynamis DCC

Q â€" Why does Dynamis use infrared wireless?

A â€" Infrared...

Yada, yada.

But did I miss if it answered his question--"I am wondering if you can use a Companion from EZ Command with the Dynamis"?
