Has anyone ever used the lighted bumpers made by Model Power that fit the EZ track?  My question is, are they compatible with DCC?  Thanks.

Don't forget the simple rule:  The track voltage is about 16-18VAC.   Check the voltage limits of that device.

I have and it does work with DCC.  However, the roadbed (N/S) on my layout, doent match the rpad bed on the bumper (black).  What would be really cool is if Bachmann made lighted bumpers.  ;)

Why?  How common are lighted bumpers in the real world?  If Bachmann were to do bumpers for EZ-Track, what's needed might be:
two ties crossed sticking up out of the ballast
a mound of dirt piled against stacked ties
an end of rail unloading ramp
