Can electronic switches be switched manually? Also can DC trains be run by DCC controller? My grandson is seven and he loves his trains. I want to get him more track and I was thinking about getting him the E Z command plus controller but I need to be sure it will work with his trains. He has the coastliner starter set. I got him a Gordon and he wants a Big Boy or a similar one

Hi y'all again, one more question when a Bachmann box set gives the dimensions of the track layout, is that to the outside? It is info I need for a gift. Thanks!

Hello, first post here:

Our club was recently donated a No. 90105 Emmett Kelly Jr. Circus train set. This is one of the old battery powered ones. One of the brackets that hold the backhead in place snapped off. Since we didn't have any plastic cement on hand, I set it off to the side to glue it back together at a later date. However it appears someone at the club threw it out, not knowing what it was. What is the part number for this and where could I obtain one?

Thanks,

Stephen

Sir Handel is out this is sooner then I thought .
The 80th vans and DCC Thomas and Percy are said to be out by the end of the years so we will see them in the next few weeks . No update on the the DCC set but I assume it will be out very soon .

The DCC set and the narrow gauge gonalas could be the start of 2026

Into spring I think the Open coach, the new tankers , and the narrow gauge gunpowder vans will come out around then.

You should be able to fit anything using O-99 (8'3" circle) curves, or smaller, inside a 10x10 LS layout.

Hi y'all! Will O gage track fit inside my 10'x 10'existing G layout? Not really considering just curious. Thanks!

Dear GS,
I guess a Big Boy, but there's no chance of that...
Happy Thanksgiving!
The Bach-man

In order for it to work You need to buy the Auto-Reversing complete kit - one A/B section will be hardwired to the special controller

Hey @BachMan! How are you doing? I have a question for you... If you could get one model train that you don't have, what would it be?? Hope you have a great thanksgiving!

Well, I'd say the model of Sir Handel seems to be available on eBay! Not sure about anywhere else, but that's what I just saw today....!
