We don't have a date decided to restart development on Duncan, or if we'll be able to do so. If or when it happens, we'll make sure to let everyone know with an official announcement.

Hi Illair,

Our remote/DCC turnouts have a manual switch on them to throw them by hand.

You can operate DC trains on the E-Z Command Plus using address zero. We advise to limit the amount of time running DC locomotives on DCC, however. They are not designed to be operated at constant voltage for extended periods of time.

Hi Jesse,

We do not do pre-orders directly through the Bachmann website. If you want to-preorder, you will have to contact your local hobby shop or an online store.

Once the cars arrive at the Bachmann warehouse, and after we ship them out to our retailers, we then make them available for purchase from our website once they are in stock.

Hi Bob,

Yes, you can purchase additional pieces of auto-reversing track. For HO scale we have item nos. 44548 (9" straight) and 44549 (18" radius curve.)

Hi Scooter,

The USRA 0-6-0 can take decoders but they have to be hardwired. Wherever you read that there is an 8 pin socket, it was an error.

QuoteI bought a BACHMANN Hudson 4-6-4 New York Central 5438 (I haven't received it yet). It will be on display at a furniture boutique. My question is, what else should I buy? I want it to light up and make sounds while standing on the tracks. I need it to be beautiful... I'm confused by the catalogs.

Hello Yuriy,

If you place a set of E-Z Riders (item no. 42901) on the track, and place the locomotive on top, this will allow you to operate the locomotive lights and sounds while it sits in place:

Hi Alfredo,

In order to disable the blinking ditch lights, program these two CV's:

CV 124 = 0
CV 159 = 0
This will disable any buttons from blinking the ditch lights. To prevent the quill from blinking the lights, program this sequence:

CV 201 = 4
CV 202 = 19
CV 203 = 80 (default is 208)
CV 204 = 251 (default is 251)
