If a person wants to extend the length of track that comes with a set, can additional pieces of EZ-Track be placed in the middle?

Thanks

I'd like to replace the controllers that come with the Bachmann turnouts with momentary switches and route indicator lights mounted on a panel. Looking for suggestions and possible wiring info.

Thanks In Advance
 

 
I'm in need of a few of the metal slide connectors that go into the solenoids. If anyone has some solenoids that are burnt out I'll take them off of your hands.  I have good solenoids, just need the metal slide connectors. Not sure where the metal slides went.

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to 'find' the address on a DCC loco when the owner doesn't recall it? I purchased a DCC unit from a private individual that was supposed to have been reset to address '3'. When I try to select '3' on my EZ Command it's not responding, both on the Mainline and/or Testtrack. This is a Spectrum unit. I'm not even sure that it is picking up power from the track. All my other locos work just fine. How can I test this unit?

Thanks

I would like to see Bachmann bring out a DCC version of all Thomas engines. I have purchased many of the engines over the past few years and then had DCC control (no sound) added to all of them. It would just be nice to already installed.

Do they make an uncoupler or what would be a good device or tool to use?
Thanks

Recommended? Would like to be able to remove in the future if necessary.

I have a lightly used Toby that is beginning to 'squeal' a little, mainly in reverse. How do I remove the shell to get to the motor for a lube job. The are 3 screws on the bottom of the motor assembly.
Thanks to all that respond.

I have had a number of EZ-Track turnout solenoids bite the dust over the years. Are there any after market switch-stands that will adapt to the EZ-Track turnouts? They're within reach of the control area.

Does Bachmann offer replacement turnout relays? I've had a couple of them quit working properly. They will only work in one direction. If not available can anyone suggest a replacement that will work (even if under table).

Thanks

2 questions.

1. Does Bachmann make a dual wire adapter so that 2 green switch wires can be plugged into it and then run to a single switch
   controller? I made some of my own extensions using telephone cable but the green switch wire has a hard time seating in the
    4 pin telephone plug in order to crimp. You waste a lot of 4 pin connectors.  I was told a long time ago to solder. I'm just trying
    to save time.

2. I just installed 2 #5 turnouts to form a crossover. My 4-6-2 stalls on one of them at the frog. Frog is not powered (DCC) as
   instructed. I have several other #5s and don't have the problem. Any Suggestions.

    Ignore this question. I removed the turnout from the layout and put it in a test track. It worked ok. Put it back in the layout
    and it seems to work ok. Your guess is as good as mine.

I have a new Bachmann 2-8-0 that has a missing 'part'. There is a very small screw that attaches the drive rods and reversing lever to the main driver. When I took the loco out of the box the reversing lever was hanging loose. I couldn't find it anywhere in the box. Does anyone know what size it may be and/or where I might find a replacement.
I sent a message to Bachmann but haven't received a response. Exploded view documentation doesn't get to that level of detail.

Any help appreciated.

I'm looking to replace a number of 'regular' turnouts. The 'regular' turnouts use an 18" piece of track to create a parallel track.

What can be used to create a parallel track for a #4, #5, #6 turnout?

I currently use the basic Dynamis Command - 36505. I'd like to upgrade to the Pro Box - 36508 to allow for multiple handhelds - 36507. Does the Pro Box stack with the basic box or is it standalone? Do I need the 'replacement' Wireless Receiver - 36509 or use the one I have? Does the replacement actually give extended wireless coverage? Where is the best placement of the Command module?

Thanks

I've been using the 'basic' Dynamis Control System since switching from DC to DCC. Have a couple of questions and concerns.

1. Unable to sort my roster into a meaningful sequence.

2. Seems to lose the signal between the controller and the handheld if you get approximately 6 or more feet apart.

3. Seems to lose the signal if you're not pretty much directly in line with it.

4. A couple of the larger locos  seem sluggish now that there are more motive power on the layout (not necessarily running, just
   setting idle.  I assume they are still pulling a small amount of power from the rails. Should I add a power booster?

5. Would an upgrade help? Seems like a controller with a small antenna would allow 360 degree signal.

Looking for any and all sugestions.

Thanks

I have a new Bachmann 2-8-2 that frequently derails when going through EZ-Track turnouts (44561/44562). Seems to occurs when going into the turnout points and/or going over the frog. Would filing down the top edge of the points help or eliminate the problem?
Thanks.

Does anyone make a wire stripper that can be used on the 3-wire plugs that come with the ez track turnouts? I have many turnouts and need to cut the wires (green wires) between the turnout and the controller to make my own extensions. I've made some using 4-wire phone cable and crimped connectors.  The problem has been getting a good stripped end on the green wire that can be inserted into the telephone connector. Thanks.

Would like to see DCC versions of HO Thomas & Friends to run on newer DCC layouts.

How do you release and remove the truck side frames without causing damage? I'm switching from black to silver on a Santa Fe.

This unit has been operating flawlessly up until a few days ago. I'm getting a 'crackling' noise along with the normal diesel sounds. Pressing F8 eliminates all sound. Any suggestions? Any and all help appreciated.

How do I remove the speaker if that's the problem?

Thanks in advance.
