EZ Track questions

[Penn1974]

Can a Bachmann #44569 wye be used on a DC layout ? I want to install a Walthers 933-3185 single track truss bridge. I am using NS EZ track. What should I use  for track to install on this bridge?

Sure.  In which way are you looking to use it?

I am planning to use the 44569 just as a wye in the yard but noticed that description says it meets NMRA DCC specifications. I was going to use a 44576 crossover in another part but found out that it can not be used on a DC layout. I just wanted to make sure that I can use this wye on a DC layout.

Ahh, so you are just using 1 piece, not more than one (usually 3 in the traditional set up), correct?  If so, yes, you should be fine as long as you don't end up making a Reverse Loop with it.  I have one in a yard myself (not EZ track but traditional sectional track).

Thank you jbrock27. Any ideas for the track for the truss bridge?

Walthers has this track http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/948-899 designed specifically for their single and double track truss bridges. It's Code-83, but will connect to Code-100 easily enough using Code-100/83 transition rail joiners.

Micro-Engineering has something similar http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/255-11101 but you have to come up with your own guardrail 'V' ends.
