I have a Bachmann Spectrum steam locomotive that is "DCC Ready". What decoder will work and where can I get it? It's a N&W J series locomotive.

Has anyone built a yard using EZ track? I would like to build a passenger yard and service area but I've only seen this done using either flex track or some variation of regular ho scale track. What kind of space would this require?

I currently run a DC system with EZ track. I have several turnouts and two crossovers on my layout. If I switch to Bachmann's DCC system do I need to change my track and switches?

I recently purchased an old Bachmann DC version of the N&W J series engines. I think it's about 20 years old and in good condition. I tested it on my track and the engine appears to be running - I can hear the motor turning. However, the drive wheels do not move at all so the engine is not moving. Is there info on site at Bachmann or elsewhere that has trouble shooting and maintenance info including disassembly if necessary?

I've been looking into doing a reverse loop. I have easy track on my layout. All the videos I've seen on YouTube indicate that I need to isolate the loop. Some of them show plastic inserts to use as rail joiners. I don't know if that could work with EZ rack. Does anyone have experience doing a reverse loop with EZ track?

I'm thinking of adding an addition to my layout and I have a concern on how to hinge the entry to the layout. I'm using Bachmann EZ track and I'm not sure how this would work. If anyone has added a hinged section to their layout, I would appreciate your input.

I have a small layout using EZ track. It has 2 crossovers and 2 turnouts. It is a DC only layout. I think I would like to convert to DCC. My question is
will my track and switches still work after I change over?

I have several crossovers and turnouts that I need extension wire to operate. I found that the newer wire does not work as well with the switches as the old thinner wire does. Does anyone have any ideas since the only extension wires now available are the ones that don't work for me. I might be doing something wrong but I have them hooked up just like the older version and the older ones work properly. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using EZ track on my layout and have two crossovers, a right and a left, connecting the two parallel tracks. The left crossover functions fine. The right one is giving me a problem. If I turn the switch so the engine picks up the right turn and crosses over to the inside track - it works perfectly. However, if I just set the switch to keep the engine on the main outside track, it stops about the middle of the frog. I don't think the problem is mechanical but it could be electric. Any ideas? How can I fix this problem or do I need a new crossover? Thanks

I have two tracks connected by Bachmann EZ track right and left crossovers. The left crossover works fine with either locomotive that I use. The right crossover works fine with one locomotive but the second one, a Bachmann Southern Pacific often fails to pass through OK. I looked at the wheels when the engine fails to make the crossover and the front wheels seem to accept the turn, but the rear wheels don't. Any suggestions? I run DC on a 4x8 layout. Thanks.

I have Bachmann No. 6 Crossover. The instruction sheet says that the two controllers can be hooked together so you only need one wire to the powerpack. I tried hooking them together but they don't seem to fit. Has anyone had success in putting two controllers together side by side?

I have a Bachmann DC powerpack and hooking it up to the track was very simple. I also have Bachman turnouts and crossovers for the track layout. I know that there are two accessory plugs on the top of the powerpack, but no clear direction on how to attach accessory wires. Any info would be very helpful. Thanks.

I finished setting up my EZ track layout. I'm using DC only and hooked up the power pack to the track. The power pack is receiving electricity but the track apparently is not because the engine won't move an inch. I checked the track junctions and everything looks connected OK. Is there a way to find out what the problem is? Thanks.

I'm new to model RR and I'm building my first layout. The layout uses EZ track which I think is a great product especially for a beginner. My question relates to putting the track together with a secure good fit. Most of the track snaps easily into place, however, there are a few spots where the fit isn't as clean or smooth. Is there a solution to this problem? I don't want to have frequent derailments when the train goes over these rough spots. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
