Hi All.
Do all shaft gears on Williams trains motors measure 9mm. 
I have three motors that have 8mm diameter gears on them  which I thought were Williams but did not fit the trucks properly.
Got new motors from Bachmann and they have 9MM diameter gears and fit perfectly in all my 6 wheel trucks.
Do four wheel power trucks also have 9MM gear just a different shaft length?

Thanks for all replies

After reviewing your video, it looks like rotating that knob so rapidly is producing intermittent connection to variable resistor for that knob.  Understand that that knob on the EZ Command Plus (44933) is called an infinity knob.  That is, you can turn it (like shown in the video) without hitting a stop.  By turning it rapidly disconnects occur.  The green indicator to the right of the knob shows the value of the voltage going to the track.  That green indicator should steadily increase power to the track.  The video shows that the green indicator is only increasing by 1 or 2 then reducing back to 1.

Since the EZ command plus power knob is (pardon my expression) "sensitive", move the knob slowly and watch how the green power indicator reacts.  Slow movement of the knob should reduce the intermittent loss of connection, thereby allowing the power to the tracks to increase.

Check out the Bachmann video to see how that green indicator should operate.

The video isn't one of Bachmann's better ones, but it shows how moving the knob rapidly produces that what you are finding.  The next portion shows how the green indicator should be increasing with each slow rotation of the knob.

AS for the amount of track in the video, the Booster is (in my opinion) overkill.  With one locomotive it should operate quite well, with the exception of loose track connections, dirty tracks, or dirty loco wheels.


Hope this helps.

You did press 'S' button then address?

I am new to DCC. I bought a Digitrax 210+ with a DT602D throttle. When trying to program in the switch control I can get the switch to enter program mode. Type in the address but when I hit the soft B key it will not confirm. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

...just that one power pack with the intention of "upgrading" it to 5-amp once I figure out how to connect the 5-amp to the tracks.

Hello,

I recently purchased 2 shells (one SD40-2 and one GP38-2) from Bachmann parts estore but I didn't take screws because I forecasted to don't use them. But now I need them... As I'm living in Europe, the delivery cost is too high for only some screws. I asked the screw dimensions to the estore but I didn't receive a reply.

I also need some screws for the couplers of the GP38-2 which are not included. It seems they have the same dimensions than the screws between the shell and the chassis.

Could you tell me the exact dimensions of these screws? I'll try to find them near my home.

So it seems the next  releases look like

Spring / Summer - Gunpowder vans , Tankers , open coach

Fall - N LBSC Thomas , Flatbed with oil drums , and maybe the N scale express coaches .

Winter - China clay wagon , Bulgy , black James , N scale Paxton , N scale Diesel , N scale 7 planks ,  Sidney , Mainland Diesel

Early 2027- Satly , troublesome truck 7

That's a lot of track on that layout. How many power feeders are you using?  Even with a 5 amp booster, just one is not enough for that much track.
