    Does anyone know if it's possible to buy just the DC controller for the EZ track turnouts?
    One of mine died. Power is going thru it to the next controller, but not out to the turnout it's suppose to be controlling.
   Thanks,
   Ted
    Well, as it turns out now, when I connect that turnout to a different controller, it still doesn't work. And if I connect another turnout to that controller it works fine. So my problem is with the turnout it's self, not the controller. Sorry I gave you half-a--ed information. Should have finished testing before I posted.
Thanks again Kevin & Joe.

I was told by Bachmann service that you get order these from Backmann parts.  Just give them a  call.

Dear Ted,

Atlas #56 Switch Control Box has the same function, but has screw terminals instead of slide on connectors. 

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Tedshere,

I've had some of the plugs on the end of the green wire be defective.  Ended up splicing in a different plug or even like Joe said, an atlas controller.

    Well as it turns out, I found another green cable, hooked it up and I'm back in business. Sorta scary to me why I had an extra cable though since I'm very new to this hobby and don't have any extra turnouts laying around. :-\
    Anyway, thanks a lot guys !!
