Hi Rich,

Not really looking to upgrade, I actually like EZ Command. I have been able to run 3 locos with sound, 2 without and a PCC street car all at the same time with no issues and not notice any change in speed. Was just curious on the I/O and the DCC turnouts. The only problem with the EZ Command for me is the limit of 8 locos and turnouts.

Hello, I have a couple questions that I have searched the web and cannot find the answer. I have 4 DCC remote crossovers and 1 remote turnout using a decoder for DCC. Every time I power up the crossovers all open to crossover but the remote turnout does nothing. If they are already open they do nothing, kind of a problem remembering to not park the locos on the crossover every time I shut down and remembering to close every time I start up. Almost sent 2 very good locos to the concrete yesterday. Any idea if this can be stopped? using EZ Command

The other question concerns the EZ command I/O Port. The manual has no info and was curious if I connect another EZ Command what would happen? Would it work as a another throttle, I assume it would not allow me to program 8 more locos and turnouts. Also is there a specific cable needed, searched for one and nothing.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your help, why did you bother to respond?

Hello,

I bought a 2 pack of these to see what they do and after looking at them and putting them on the layout and reading this I still do not know. There are 2 power connections on each side and I did remove the 2 larger black screws to see if anything would move and nothing changed. I wish Bachmann would give a better explanation on these items on their web site and honestly a lot of time the explanations I get on here I do not understand. Have had trains for a long time but all layouts only had track and a switch or two and now I am going to fast for what I know.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Hunt, that's pretty dumb. I could have bought a DCC turnout for $13 dollars more. Also the description states turnouts not turnout, kind of deceptive.

Oh well, live and learn, Thanks again.

Hello Again,

I just bought this product and need some help. I was able to easily hook up one turnout and it worked perfect. I can't see how I can hook up more to it as there is only one connection. I hooked up another thinking the first might work if not plugged in but no dice. I have to be missing something.

Thanks in advance

Thanks to both for the replies and the book suggestion, I will be sure to order.

I did figure out this morning that if I add a 1" piece on the 2 sides I use the crossovers and a 1" and 3  1/4" on the other sides it should work being the tracks are exactly 1" off and the crossover will add 3 1/4". I will basically change from 89"x 89" to 93.25" x 93.25". Only concern is at the four straight parts I am leaving basically no room for error if a derailment. I will have to build something to protect against that, a wall or some netting. I will also have to use the other straight parts going in from 33.25 to 28 but I should have a little extra room, that is why I will go to 93.25 all aroung.

Does that make sense to anyone other than me?

Hello,

I am starting an HO layout on an 8' x 8' space and need some help or input. I am using Bachmann EZ Track and have 35.5 Radius x 20 on the outside with 2 9" straight tracks between each 5 pieces. I have the same thing inside using 33.25 radius and can't figure out how to connect the two lines. Didn't really think it out and thought I would be able to use turnouts and that obviously didn't work. I was going to order 2 #6 crossovers but after looking the 2 straight tracks do not match up so that will not work. Any ideas? I have never used any of the track software and was overwhelmed trying Any Rail? I plan on doing the same down to 28 26  22 and 18 radius so any ideas suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the response, that is what the problem is. One of the 2 connections underneath broke loose. I tried to solder it back and didn't work. It does work when I jump it but not sure how I want to do that, I guess solder a wire to the side of the rails. There should really be more protection underneath and those were the smallest screws I ever saw.

Hello,

New to the forum, out of the hobby for a while. I am having a problem with this turnout, it was bought on EBay but was sealed still in package new. It worked fine for a couple days and then train started losing power when it would go through, every time actually. The remote switch part still works and I replaced with another piece of track and no problems. I have tried the turnout in another area and same result. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
