HO / Connecting track
March 05, 2010, 11:35:32 AM
I have a #5 turnout track and I want to fit a straight one at the end of it. But it appears that I need a straight track with corners chipped so that 2 tracks can fit the straight and the turnout portion. Which piece do I need?

HO / Distance between tracks?
February 28, 2010, 07:11:46 PM
I wish to connect to #5 turnouts (44565) back to back so as to make parallel tracks - what would be the track separation between to the 2 parallel tracks?

Thanks
A.

Thanks ABC.

In that case I have a followup question.
If I am going to use a 28" oval track outside of a concentric 22" oval track and that I wish to use a turnout for track switch - should I be using the #6 remote turnouts or the other #6 longer turnouts? If I use the regular #6 turnouts how long a straigh piece of track should I need to make up for the 6" difference in radius?

Thanks

So will this look ok on 28" radius curved tracks?
#5
So are there any smaller passenger cars (with inside lighting) suitable for 22" curved tracks?
#6
Ok. Thanks.

Would they go around 18" or 22" curved tracks? Or would it look real odd?

Thanks

HO / Space between tracks
January 29, 2010, 05:27:58 PM
A newbie kind of question about Bachmann tracks with gray roadbed...
- Can I use 2 #6 left (or right) turnout tracks to make a crossover track? Will the straight parts remain parallel after the connecting the 2 turnouts? If so, what is the separation distance between the straight tracks then?

Thanks
A

HO / Re: Power pack for #6 crossover turnout switches?
December 29, 2009, 10:39:03 PM
The track already has power can it not use it from there?
Are yo usaying I have to buy $50 power packs for these switches?
Please see the attached picture for my configuration.

The diagram with the packet says to the "Power Pack" - which one is it? Do I need to buy it separately?

Please see the attached picture to better understand my (vague) question.

HO / Power pack for #6 crossover turnout switches?
December 29, 2009, 08:05:23 PM
What power pack do I need for #6 crossover turnout switches? I bought a set of #6s but did not realize I needed separate power packs as I thought by using the green wires to the tracks will also supply power.
Please help.

Thanks

HO / Re: What curved tracks should I buy?

Thanks for the guidance!

But I see only 2.25" track extensions - how do I make a 3.25" ?

HO / What curved tracks should I buy?
December 19, 2009, 11:44:01 PM
I am planning 2 concentric oval tracks. I have a current 18" curve tracks.
What curvature should the outside oval track be - 22" ?
Also, if I use 22" for the outside track and I wish to use a crossover-turnout on the straight part of the oval tracks (to cross between the inner and outer tracks) then will a 18" and 22" curved ones fit with the 21.5" crossover turnouts?

HO / Re: Connecting 2 tracks

Maybe my question is too vague - hence no response.

Basically I have an oval track running with a DCC. I want add a 2nd concentric oval. I plan to use to left n right crossover turnouts. By virtue of connecting the 2nd track to the existing one, does it automatically get enough power to run a 2nd loco on the 2nd track?

HO / Connecting 2 tracks
December 19, 2009, 04:17:38 PM
I want to have two concentric oval tracks. I have one oval track that connects to a DCC unit to the AC adapter and one the tracks have a black section that comes with a connector on both sides. How do I connect the other oval track to the same unit? Do I have to buy a track section with a connector and can I connect both the tracks to the same DCC?
