I am putting together a layout, my first, very new to hobbie.  The layout calls for a 1.5 inch piece of track.  I have searched and come to understand that Bachmann does not make this size.  I am wondering if, after looking at the package that is sold via bachmann for a 90 degree crossing, it comes with 4 small pieces of track.  Does anyone know the size of those 4 pieces?  I am wondering if I can use one of those pieces to fit the gap in my layout...

Ok so my son who is 8 got a bachmann starter train set for x-mas.  The Thunderbolt set.  Very basic, so he wants to add a few things to it, he really loves trains and just fall out of live with Thomas for some reason, thought that would not come until 10 plus...anyway.  I am trying to get him a gate, bridge and tunnel.  I have found a few on ebay and other hobby shps but I am not sure if they will work wiht this set.  I h ave a HO scale bachmann set with ez track.  This is what I have found:


1. Gate, bachmann double crossing ez track ho scale gate, I am sure this should work
2. Blinking bridge bachmann ho scale, but it does not say ez track on it, seller shows model # 46221 but I could not find this on thw website...Would this work with my ez track?

3.  Can you tell what if there are any other brand names that would work with this ho scale set I have besides Bachmann?  I have ran across atlas, athean etc..but do not know if there items, such as tracks, trains, accessories etc would work with this ex track bachmann set.

So there you have it, thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your help
