Terry, you know the difference between an European style layout and an American style layout?
When there is space left on an European layout it will be filled with track.
When there is track on an American layout and you wonder what it is doing there, you remove it.

I have no experience with EZ track but i tried a PECO crossover and had shorts when a locomotive passed over it.
Where the track come together there is not enough isolated space.

Aren't those double tracks not to close to each other?
And what about that turning triangle?
That's a short circuit anytime.
You will need a loop detector.

Or look at photo's of roundhouses on the net and build on yourself.
for instance Mc Donald's wooden coffee stirrers are excellent building material .

O yes i had several wires coming loose and even complete connectors disconnecting from their pcb's.
Finding replacements is hard and usually i forget about the connectors and make a permanent connection.

Voltage is given and Amperage is drawn when needed.
So for example a 100Amp power supply can be used for a device that draws only 100 mA without any problem.
If the power supply gives a Voltage is higher than the device needs you have a problem.
Is that simple.

Sorry but i am not interested in the latest regurgitation of the 2-6-0.

Bachmann should be ashamed of itself.

There are 21 pin to 8 pin adapter cables.
Maybe an option to continue with 8 pin decoders.
