Bachmann turnouts and Digitrax DS-64 decoders....

[Ten Wheeler]

Has anyone on the forum had any experience with EZ track turnouts and cross-overs controlled by Digitrax DS-64 stationary decoders?

Thanks....  Bob

B'mann's EZ-Track turnouts have typical dual coil solenoid machines which is one of the types of machines Digitrax's DS64 is designed to work with.  The only problem you might encounter is trying to use the DS64 with a command station that cannot handle stationary decoders.

Thanks, Jim...  I have a Zephyr at present, but I have heard that if I want to operate multiple DS-64's I will need a booster, so I may just trade up to a Digitrax Santa Fe... as I already have the DT-400.

Thanks again...  Bob

Bob, you do not have to buy a booster just to run multiple DS64's.  They can be run off a dc power supply, which is cheaper.

WOW !!!  Thanks, Jim... that will save me some $$$, and I think the Zephyr is "more kid friendly" anyway, as we have seven grandkids that love to run trains.

Thanks again for all your help...   Bob/Ten Wheeler
