Another wiring question. Can any one supply me with a wiring diagram showing me how to wire in switches and LED's on the control panel and to the following areas of the layout:
1) switch (SPST or Buchmann turnout switch provided?) on control panel with a BIPOLOR LED also on control panel, then wiring to the turnout.
2) switch (SPST or DPDT ?) on control panel to light (LED) also on control panel then wiring to the track.
One more question should these LED's have resistors wired into each of these applications?

I went to a clinic on wiring, one of the things that told us was to put in a jumper from each of the tracks to the moveable track. This was so if the moveable section gets dirty you have power problems with your trains. My questions can this be done with the Buchmann turnouts? I looked at one of mine, it doesn't look possable or easy. Any suggestions?

I would like to answer somebody about questions they asked me on a topic. I would like to attach a computer generated schematic, how do I do that?

Does anybody have a suggestion on how to layout and build a control panel. The info I need is what switches, lites, controls, wiring, etc. are the best to use? Is there any software help in designing a panel? I have a company, listed in my favorites with a internet site, called www.controlpaneldesign.com. I have not used it yet, are there any other softwares available?

On my layout I will have a reverse section of track and 2 turntables. My question can I use one Reverse loop module or do I need 3? The second question do I need a 9" power terminal # 44597 for the turntables. Thank you in advance.

Has any body build a HO layout with a working Hump Yard? To simulate  the worlds biggest yard in North Platte NE. Is it possible to push cars up or down a Hump into staging sidings? Thank You in advance for any info.

Does anybody have a web site to go to get a PDF Instruction manual for a DC Controller  item number #46605A. Thank You in advance.

Is it possible to order Item # 44902 (E-Z Comand Digital Command Control System) DVD and printed instructions? I ether misplaced mine or did not receive them.

I am about to build a layout. I want to operated it as a DCC controlled layout. The equipment I have is all Bachmann. I was at a train show in Lacrosse today and talked to a club, which is run with DCC control. The member tells me That I should use "Digitrax" equipment, that it is the best and will allways work with old equipment as they upgrade their equipment. How do you all feal about this? I plan to have about 20-25 loco's which I would run at the most 4 at a time. I don't think that I need an costly system. Thoughts?

Can the Tortoise machines be used on Bachmann Turnouts? If yes, are there any articles with pictures/instructions available? I have both DCC controlled and remote controlled switches. I'm thinking on converting just the non DCC switches with the Tortoise. Does this make any sense?

I am building a layout where my table will have 3 splits. I want to make connections between the splits. Is there hardware to connect the tracks at the splits and also the wiring, with connectors, under the table. Thank you in advance for any answers given.

I'm building a small HO layout for under the Christmas tree. I will have a small mountain, and I want to make it a winter scene. What is the easy way to make snow or what company has snow, or can I make my own snow.
Thanks for the help, John

I have a layout software and I been using EZ track except were I need special lengths and curve,s to fit, then I use the Atlas library that has software to cut straight and curve track. The question I have can I cut EZ track to lengths and curves and will they fit with standard EZ track? Is there a method to connect these tracks?

Many mouths ago there was an story about how to rework a turntable using an Atlas turntable, I think, into a larger pit type turntable. the story had pictures showing the process of building this turntable. Can anybody remember this, can you help me find it, or reprint it?

Does anyone know if there is any software available to design layouts using EZ track products? I have a free version of Atlas software but only uses Atlas products.

In the Bachmann 2008 catalog on page 87 item # 44541 shows a 90 degree crossing with a center hub and 4 pcs of straight track. I guess the straight sections are 2.00" long. Going to a couple of hobby store web sites they show this crossing as one piece contsruction the same # 44541. What form of this crossing is right?

Is Item # 99978 Planning Guide by Bachmann available? How and where can I buy one?

I have many layout plans using Atlas track. Using Bachmann E-Z track can I duplicate these layouts? Are there publications showing different layouts, that include electrical connections, block assignments, etc. using E-Z tracks and other equipment? If yes please list where I can obtain them.
