N / My EM1 Getting Derailed
January 05, 2021, 10:25:04 AM
Hi all.. I bought my Bachmann EM1 2-8-8-4. I just made my first track layp-up using flexi track and the EZ track. My diesel runs well with not much issues but I am having issues with my EM1. When I try to run ahead, the front 2 wheels seem to run out of rail and then followed by the next 4. The front tend to lift as I push the throttle ahead. It was running fine for few runs then the problem started. I finally had to run my EM1 on reverse.
I am still trying to figure out why the front tend to get lifted. I hope I can get this sorted.
I am new in this hobby, so I do hope some advise from you guys.

N / Bachmann EZ Command and 5 Amp Power Booster
July 17, 2020, 01:49:57 AM
Hi there, newbie here again. I just bought the Bachmann DCC & Sound starter set with additional 4 freight cars and also the Steam loco with DCC and sound 4-8-8-4 to couple with 4 other passenger cars with light. My planned layout has got 2 tracks inter-connected, they go around the tree and have 2 ovals and an elevation for the 2nd round on the tree. I belief a running a buss would be highly recommended and i do intend to. Can anybody lead me to how best to wire the ez command to the booster and also to the buss/feeders. A connection circuit diagram guide would be very helpful. I do have an idea, but of course I would rather get an advise from those with experience and try to get them right. Hope anybody could assist. Tks guys..

N / Beginner Query
July 08, 2020, 02:17:50 PM
My name is Melwin Joseph and I am from Malaysia. I have been reading about the train hobby as I am interested in starting on this hobby. I intend to start on the N scale as it will be more suitable for me.
I am interested in the Bachmann N 24132 starter set with DCC & sound. However, there are a few questions which I hope you won't mind assisting me with:-

1)What track code is the Bachmann N scale EZ track.

2)Understand that the EZ track can be connected to the Flexi track. Do I need to use a normal track connector or do I need to use a transition track connector.

3)What is the max track length or layout size the EZ command can support.

4)If a power booster is required, can you send me a wiring diagram for connecting 1 booster.

5)From your website, I see that you only have 2 N scale DCC starter sets. How do I check on Bachmann full range of N scale trains, sets, tracks and etc.
