Ty for your answer sorry about the lack of info. Either way i figured out the problem using a meter. The E-Z track n scale switches had some major resistance problems so I took them apart and tightened some things and poof 3 out of 4 now work perfectly. One was originally backwards  so that when the frog was lined up for straight the electricity was supplied to the side. The two other's had to be tightened and the last one is crap the wires are in the wrong places... Way to go China.

Ok, I got the Empire Builder a while back and the locomotive is a bit screwy by its self (see the topic under this). Anyway my train has serious problems running through N-scale e-z track switches it is not power problems i have terminals paced before all the switches. From what I have gathered Bachmann does not have the best switches but I have them and am stuck with them is there anyway to make them work better or do they work fine and it is my engine. Either way no offense but Bachmann needs to pull it together your HO E-Z track is great, but your N scale E-Z track stinks. Please help me get my layout working exceptionally well.

I'm glad that you put this up here and as I was just about to say all this. I have the same set and the same problems and I will add mine on to yours. My locomotive also stops suddenly and will not run under 30 on the controler. If sopmeone could offer some help it would be nice.

Can I attach an atlas locomotive to bachmann rolling stock will the couplers work together?

first of all I'm new to n scale and model railroading in general. i like railroading because I like to make dioramas. Anyway I'm using n scale e-z track and I want to know the radius of the curves used it says, there are 11.25 and 19 degree curves avaible.These are odd degrees to have. 19 doesn't even go into 90. Also i already have sdome 15 degree but you don't seem to sell those? The HO scale has a wider selection of degrees why not N? What are the true degrees for these curves and are there degrees out there?
