HO / Turntable wiring
September 02, 2018, 04:16:37 PM
Mr. Bach Man,

Do you have a wiring diagram of the EZ HO turntable. Can one  run straight through when table is lined up with out side track?  Need to under stand DC wiring as the turntable rotates. ???  ::)

HO / order # for power wire
July 20, 2018, 12:37:56 AM
What is the item # of the double female plug in wire - I have one in front of me but can not find Item#  = it is not 10' # 44498 but only 2'.

Is this 2' double female plug-in wire available for sale?

Mr. Bach Man?

Ignore previous thread.  I solved it - but I am unable to explain it.  Using NCE unit I went through the give the loco. a new number but short and long several times with different version to questions asked and I looked up and the track-mobile was moving down the tracks.(actually I heard it first then looked and seeing it moving.   It understands the # 4 address but not  long  address.

Thanks for you time.

Well it may be a bit more then just lost as I have used my Track-mobile on different layouts. {work great}  I was using #3 but decided I needed another # to call cab. As other new engines were #3. While it was working #3 most likely was on main while someone else did some CV stuff.  Alas, no responds to track-mobile #3 now.

I have tried a NCE system for programming a local address; on the program track
the Manufacture 001 and decoder 032, but no reply to either short or long address once tried.
Have also tried sending 08 to CV 8 for factory reset and the 55-55-55 address reset method to no avail.  
Tried my other track-mobile and it worked fine. And Bachmann DCC and DC power also no go....    

Open to suggestions - to recover non-responsive track-mobile?

HO / Any chart of curve track #'s?
June 23, 2018, 02:09:43 PM
Having accumulated many curve track = 505A,506A,H4403A4,H4403A5,92124A1,H44048.

Has Bach Man or Any One listed or charted the different stock # and curve dimensions?
{H4403A4-1 is a 22" curved track}

Having three pairs of rails crossing bridge what curve #sets works best to complete the loop?

HO / turnout problem
June 20, 2018, 08:42:25 PM
I have one that gives a very slight sound when  the program button is pressed. and no response if it's # is pressed. At one time it was programed #8 and worked.

The other now will give only one click when the button is pressed   and  then after  a wait will give the toggle twice to indicate that the programming process has been cancelled.  It also worked.

Is it lest expensive and time to buy a new one then to send in for repair?

Or is there instruction on how to correct problem?

HO / Re: DCC turn out problem
April 01, 2018, 03:45:01 PM
Hunt - Thank you -  It worked great with one of my switches but I guess I will need to send two of them in for service. [one 1 yr old and the other 8 years old]  Most of my switches are at least 15 years old.  Again thanks Hunt.

HO / DCC turn out problem
March 31, 2018, 07:10:11 PM
Is there any way to reset a DCC Bachmann turnout to factory setting as I have two [own total of 8 ]  that do not respond to function 1 through 8 keys. at one time each responded appropriately to function key press.

Neat idea but I believe 9 puts unit into programing mode - when I get a chance I will try your idea and report back
