Thanks for the heads up Ray,
So it looks like it's normal to have problems with track and pull off turnouts for repairs once in a while. I will keep that in mind.

Mine layout itself is complete and looks really good. I built Madison Central in N scale. With Woodland Scenics everything on it. Now I am just fine tuning it and experimenting.

I also see that lots of people complain that their cars get derail on EZ track turnouts. I sort of got mine fine tuned where I don't have problems with derailments. I can run HHP-8 Spectrum locomotive at full speed and it stays on.

I used Gorilla glue. It dries in to a foam type material. Easy to remove, it comes right off with minimum effort. Did it on purpose.

It that normal for Bachmann switches to be that unreliable?
Out of 4 switches on my layout, 2 failed right out of the box.

First one had mechanical link skipping teeth on the gear.
Second one stopped passing current to the line.

That's 50% chance of getting a good switch.
Getting tired of destroying my layout every other day.

Thanks for the quick reply Jim.
Simple enough solution. Looks like I have to eventually throw away all Bachmann track and go with Atlas. Teaches me a lesson on being cheap.

Lets say we have a glued on semi-oval EZ track layout with a few turnouts.
If one of the turnouts fails, we have to replace it.

To take it out, we have to pull EZ track away from the turnout. But we have a glued down continues circle track. I am sure we don't have to break off the entire track from the board do we?

What the best way of doing it?

Thanks guys.
