For anyone wanting to add more track to an auto reverse i.e., point-to-point, trolly line (mine is the On30 Xmas set), I've found that it's not necessary to use Bachmann's special auto reverse EZ track: It can be done using regular EZ track. Actually, the only auto reverse track sections necessary are the two track sections with a gap in one of the rails: one that's in the trolly house, and the other which is usually used at the other end of the line, connecting to the bumper section (also not necessary). But what must be done is to connect with a wire at least one of the 2 wires running inside of the one auto reverse track section (in the trolly house) to the same wire inside the end auto reverse section. Just attach the wire to the metal clips on the two sections (of the same rail). All other sections can be regular EZ track.
