Does EZ have a manual switch throw for their EZ switchs? the Caboose Ind product does not appear to work. The slide does operate but a throw would be more positive.
PS I tripped on the green switch wire and it yanked the reseptacles  so I think to do  that switch manually. 

Hello. I bought a new GS-4 Bachmann on a close out a couple years ago. It did not run out of the box. I got side tracked with other things and now wonder if anyone is interested in the engine. also how much does Bachmann charge to fix the engine. It must be something simple. Thanks for any advice. 

Hi  Is the quality of train set engines as good as individual standard (not Spectrum) engines I see offered??

What year did the full length dome cars show up on railroads? 1955?

Dear Bachmann. I need to make up 6 1/2" gap to close my siding. I see 3 1/2 and 2 1/2 inch packs and a misc shorter pack without dimentions. Which do I need and what am I buying? Got trains.

I have a book, I will reread it about electric wiring. I can just leave the inner and outer loop separate. I still want blocks.

The Backmann EZ snap track is an ok product. I and my hobby store advisor tried to gently remove the little brass joiner to replace with a plastic joiner to make a break in the track. They appear to be spot welded on. All we managed to do is destroy several pieces of track. We tried the rail snippers which cut the rail but leave no space and are not smooth cuts. I got a 1/16th thick dremel grinding wheel but it just polishes the track instead of cutting it.  A mini 50 tooth saw cuts but is hard to isolate the cut to the desired track. What can be done? I will put a fotos when i decode photobucket.

Well men. I got my switches to operate. when in doubt read the instructions.

Now I seem to have made a small error in judgement and involved my little woman in a stink about her new car. The neighbor cat likes to track mud up the top of the car so i was in by barn minding my own business. I figured 4 pumps on my pellet pistol woudn't hurt little old Snookums cat and learn him to get offn the car. Problems arise in trajectory calculations when underpowered. So now my spouse is all up in a roar cause i hit the window on the passenger side and missed the cat. Just can't win somedays.

My layout has 2 loops of track Up to now i have ran 2 separate power packs on the separate loops. i want to put a connector between the loops which have the outside rail as the power feed and the inner rail as common ground. Can I make a block on the connector rails and power off 1 or the other packs without frying my Mallet? i assume the poewr packs would need to be syncronised just so to see a smooth transition from loop a including the block connector  to loop b.

Hello men. I need help with the red and green wireing on my layout. I am nailing it down after a year of not wanting to deal with the electrical. So I want to ask some guidance from one of you railroaders. I will take some pictures and try to show what I want to do. I have basic electrical theory from navy sonar and torpedoman training at US Fleet ASW School in SD class of 65 but this snap modular stuff is a challenge. And expensive.

Can Bachman EZ switches be hooked up to do manually with a throw?

I'll be back.
