I have a question about the Dynamis, If I remove the batteries from controller will it keep what was programed on it or will I lose it and have to go back and do it again? Please let me know, Because I have already programed 3 locomotives and 1 DCC turnout and I would hate to lose what info I have put into the controller! Let know please, Thanks!!!

I think it would be ok to have the track snap into the bridge on the girder bridge as long as its a ballast deck bridge, on a thru truss or deck a ballasted track like the ez track has would not look right so that track would have to made different for those bridges but with the same connectors as the ez track has on each end.  There are other bridges that could be made but that was just a few that came to mind!!

Why don't Bachmann make a EZ Track 18" Thru Truss Bridge or a 9" Deck Bridge or a 9" Girder Bridge to go with their EZ Track, The ends could have the same type of connections as the track, this will give the system some new items! Plus it will be great for people to have for rivers and streams on their layout, I think I should not have to purchase a Atlas one when you guys can make one for your track system, look at kato unitrack and their bridges for their track system, I would like to see these in HO scale and you could also do them in N scale.. How about it Bachmann....

I'm talking about motorized units on crossing gates, working lights and bell sound, where the loco can be 18"inches from the crossing and they start working so when the train is at the crossing the signals are already down, would like to see this in the ez track line as I stated above, the use of photocell or IR could be used. this would also work with trackside signals but right at the signal so it would change from green to red and after the train passes it then it would hold at red for 10 sec then go to yellow for 5 sec then back to green until another train passes the signal, these all made with the ez track system..

I just got bachmann's dynamis sound commander set and the new sound value 2-6-0 alco steam loco, set it up and programmed both loco's and the turnout and everything runs great! This is a great set to get people into dcc and sound loco's... Thanks

I think Bachmann should make a working EZ Track crossing gate with real working lights and bell sounds, Have it start working by movement on the rails by photocell. You could make 2 versions, a regular crossing signal one and one with gates.. Also would like to see EZ Track railroad signals that would change color or position when the trains runs over a photocell, could make B&O style, Pennsy style, search light style and etc.. This would be a great move for bachmann for their EZ Track fans..

The problem with the walthers turntable is it takes up so much space, I need a small like the bachmann, but not as small as a atlas turntable, that 1" more on the bachmann one does make a big difference when it comes to small steam and diesels locomotives. I like the look of a pit on the bachmann one also, the atlas one looks like the type you would see inside of a enclosed roundhouse with a solid wood top. But still need a roundhouse that will line up with the degree of the legs that come off the turntable, without a kitbash job.. Bachmann please help with this!!!!

I think Bachmann needs to release the thomas the tank roundhouse building as a kit in different colors for people to purchase for the powered turntable, because it sound like there is no roundhouse that will work with it unless you make your own or kitbash another brands kit, I don't want to do that! So Bachmann please think about this as a new item and you already have the roundhouse made it just needs to be released not as a thomas the tank engines roundhouse and in different colors, mabe red or brown brick with black or dark blue doors..

what brand of roundhouse will work with the bachmann's EZ track turntable straight from the box? Is bachmann going to make a roundhouse for the turntable? I know you have one for the thomas the tank sets but I need one for regular HO scale trains... Please let me know.. thanks

In the 2013 Bachmann Catalog it does state on the first few pages that the Big Hauler line is 25 years on in 2013. I wish they would have did a new annie just for this year...

Hi Bill, The video on youtube I'm stating this from is a Bachmann Video about the 4-6-0 Loco, History, Care of, the Model... It is like the DVD you would get when you purchase the loco and it states the first year was 1988 and shows the first loco and moves on to the last version of the model made. It has 2 parts on youtube you have to watch.. Check it out.. Can't wait to see what you find out on this matter...

Also please note that in the post about" lost your instructions of your big hauler set" in the forum, there is one reply about the set being reviewed in Model Railroad Craftsman on Nov. 1988 issue. Now that would make it 25 years old, but here is where I think people might be thinking but I'm not for sure, was the loco only sold in sets from 1988 to 1990 in a RC version only and in 1990 the loco was sold by it's self but with track powered? This would change the dates on the loco but not on the big hauler line.... Help us "Bachmann" Help!!!

I remember in 1988 the RC set with the green Santa Fe Loco, Yellow flat car, Bobber Caboose, It also came with telephone poles and coaling tower. There is a video on the 4-6-0 on youtube that states that the loco was first made in 1988 and how it changed over the years to what it is today (or the one just before the last upgrade). It shows the RC Loco on the video and one of the new loco's of the past few years.. So that would make it 25 years of them being in the G scale market.. That same year the spectrum line came on the market, in HO scale only. So it to would be 25 years old this year. So lets see a Spectrum 4-6-0 Annie limited edition, now that would be great!!! Painted in the green D&RG like the K-27, With DCC ready and Sound, Upgraded Tender with a real wood load and maybe a matching upgraded bobber caboose..

Well, Happy 25 years Bachmann Big Haulers.. We need to see something special for this line this year.. How about an upgrade to Annie's Tender or make her DCC ready or New Paint jobs.. Well, Here is to another 25 years!!!

I put to many "O"'s in Bogie, My fault!!! But still a great looking loco!!!
