Mr. Bach Man,

Do you have a wiring diagram of the EZ HO turntable. Can one  run straight through when table is lined up with out side track?  Need to under stand DC wiring as the turntable rotates.  

10' x 12' layout several tracks side by side - what is considered best for AWG for bus and feeders?

Harry

What is the item # of the double female plug in wire - I have one in front of me but can not find Item#  = it is not 10' # 44498 but only 2'.

Is this 2' double female plug-in wire available for sale?

Mr. Bach Man?

Well it may be a bit more then just lost as I have used my Track-mobile on different layouts. {work great}  I was using #3 but decided I needed another # to call cab. As other new engines were #3. While it was working #3 most likely was on main while someone else did some CV stuff.  Alas, no responds to track-mobile #3 now.

I have tried a NCE system for programming a local address; on the program track
the Manufacture 001 and decoder 032, but no reply to either short or long address once tried.
Have also tried sending 08 to CV 8 for factory reset and the 55-55-55 address reset method to no avail.  
Tried my other track-mobile and it worked fine. And Bachmann DCC and DC power also no go....    

Open to suggestions - to recover non-responsive track-mobile?

Having accumulated many curve track = 505A,506A,H4403A4,H4403A5,92124A1,H44048.

Has Bach Man or Any One listed or charted the different stock # and curve dimensions?
{H4403A4-1 is a 22" curved track}

Having three pairs of rails crossing bridge what curve #sets works best to complete the loop?

Harry

I have one that gives a very slight sound when  the program button is pressed. and no response if it's # is pressed. At one time it was programed #8 and worked.

The other now will give only one click when the button is pressed   and  then after  a wait will give the toggle twice to indicate that the programming process has been cancelled.  It also worked.

Is it lest expensive and time to buy a new one then to send in for repair?

Or is there instruction on how to correct problem?

Harry

How does one change decoder address 3 to another number on the turntable?

Is there any way to reset a DCC Bachmann turnout to factory setting as I have two [own total of 8 ]  that do not respond to function 1 through 8 keys. at one time each responded appropriately to function key press.

Is there anyway to have more then 8 DCC turnouts on a single layout?  Or to ask the question another way - I have 12 Bachmann Dcc turnouts and would like to control these last 4 with different packets of digital information.

Can one have more then 8 DCC switches?  What If one were to use a separate power pack. Plug one in for running the engine and first eight switches then  switch power packs {unplug original and plug in extra power pack for switches 9 and above?

How do you change the decoder in a MTH engine to another engine # {like #4} from factory set #3?  I have a freight yard with E-Z Command track and turntable.  I can change several of my engines to #'s 1,2,5,6,7 but I have two MTH engines and they both want #3 -thus problem.  Maybe the question needs to be= can a MTH Proto 3 engine decoder be set to a different # with The E-Z Command system?

Thanks

What is the purpose of the steel plate on top of the magnet?   Cause, I think I misplace one but the magnet appears to uncouple with out a problem in my only test.

So what do you have planned?

Harry 

  - I am looking for a two rail O scale Thomas - Is there such? 

My friend said taking a three rail Thomas and 'making it a two rail is really a lot of work and not worth the trouble.  Just paint a shell to look like Thomas'.

This is not my cup of tea....   

Any ideas or help here?

Harry

I intend to purchase a GE 44 Ton Diesel Switcher.

http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/products.php?act=viewProd&productId=68

BUT fellow club member said purchase two because the pickup needs two on this layout because the 44 may stop for reasons: pick-up not as effective.  

If you have a GE 44 Tonner; is this a problem?  Or is this member just having a problem?

Mr. Bach-man,  I ask this question knowing I could try it myself but not wanting to have to send in for possible repair and increase the profit of Fed-EX or UPS.  Much easier to ask on this board.

Can I plug in E-Z Command on one side of the power track and plug in the Dynamis on the other side then have them both on at the same time? [using the same code for all units]

I would think it would be OK to have them both plugged in on either side of the power track but only one on at a time.

HGC

p.s. need a discussion board for DCC  - my opinion w/ F.A.Q.s.

Mr. Bachmann: Can DC engine run on Dynamis control track and if so how? 

I have been spoiled using both an old DC and DCC engines on/with the E-Z Command.

HGC

Mr. Bachmann:  How do I log on the DCC board to ask a question?  no reply button....

If you keep on click on "Gift Shop" then "Featured Item" you get random items that Bachmann is selling from : Small Vial of Smoke Fluid to a Acela Pantograph to Percy Face Plate etc. 

Very nice redesign of the Bachmann home page

When the box car or other cars are positioned in the yard for a new run - is the brake wheel on the car at end toward the caboose or the engine?
