I am having trouble with the turntable making contact with some of the tracks that are selected when I rotate the turntable.  About half of them do not activate with power.

Any suggestions?  I am reluctant to mess with the contacts in terms of altering the height to ensure they contact the track.  I am afraid that some will now be too high.

Is there a way to hard wire power to the various tracks and remove the contacts completely.  Is there some sort of wiring scheme that I would need to do like on an atlas turntable so that proper polarity is maintained.

I had thought about getting small screws and drinning a tiny hole through the turntable into the wood underneath and using a fine wood screw to push that particular section down into better contact.

I would like to also hear from a Bachmann person in addition to users out there.

Thanks - Jerold in Tampa

General Discussion / Bachmann Turntable
May 30, 2011, 08:47:02 PM
Purchased a Bachmann 16 position HO turntable.  Usually Bachmann stuff is well documented but there is virtually no documentation about DCC operation other than just how to install the decoder and use their system. Profoundly disappointed in Bachmann on this issue.  I have some questions.

1.  Can I use a DCC standard 8-pin decoder for operation.

2.  I need some guidance on what mode, etc to use it.  I select the address then what.

3.  I am assuming it is compatible with already my in place digitrax system.

Would appreciate any help from anyone.  You may contact me at jeroldc.33625@gmail.com or on the forum
