Dear Sir can a g scale 2-6-6-2 run on 5' dia track at all (slowly)? If not what is minimum dieter track and turn out #? I bout it because of its' unique beauty and historic significants. I have a 2truck Shay and Heisler and am happy! Gearhead

Dear Bach-Man, I have G scale Shay and Heisler loco's. What sound decoders recommended by Bachmann? Confused on what I read on websites especially about amp rating of decoders. Just want a drop in unit. What size of speakers recommended.
EZ Riders work great for testing purposes, bought some for HO too! Is there existing diagrams of both wiring diagrams and physical diagrams of factory installed units of said loco's?

I want to know if I can run on a oval test track (4' x 5') my Spectrum two truck Shay with my EZ Command Dynamis DCC System for testing and programming purposes? I also have a Heisler with both having decoders. Can I also use the above combination using the EZ Riders (tread mill) for testing?

Thanks for the quick replies fellow members. I have the Dynamis IR controller with the power supple rated at 2.5 amps. I plan to insert my amp meter in series while testing my locos.

I am excited I joined this forum and just sending this short message to test the waters so to speak. My next message will hopefully be as pertinent and helpful to others from what ever responses I get from the all your replies  Thanks.  Gear Driver
