thanks so much for your response......is there a place on the web where i can see what you are talking about?
also, how much is it?
mike

ill spend some of this evening.....trying your suggestions.....and will let you know.  also, is there anywhere i can read how to 'follow the power' when using the turnouts?  i understand that using several (as im trying to do) creates a problem with how the power is routed.  any suggestions where i can do some homework?  sometimes throwing the 'switch' for a turnout will 'kill another part of the track.  now that i think about it.....maybe i ought to just take up drinking and give up trying to slay all these N gauge issues!!!!
:-)
again i sincerely appreciate your time,
mike

thanks so very much for taking the time to respond....
i'll give it a try!
mike

Thanks!!
im on my way home with my trusty screwdriver!
mike

this may be the heighth of a dumb question, but which one do
i make tighter and which looser?  assuming end 'a' is the leader and 'b' is
the one behind, realizing they do back up some.
thanks so much for your time and patience.
mike

thanks so much for going to the trouble to respond....sorry about the delay,
i have been out of town.  im in the process of checking, but i dont understand
about the trucks being ...i cant remember your words...tight on one end and not on the other.  if you wouldnt mind taking the time, could you please explain what that means?
again, my thanks for your trouble.
mike

HELP!  Im relatively new to mod trains and am developing my first N gauge layout.  It is set up on a table appx. 40" x 84".  I have used several of the ez track turnouts and when i use the engine with one or two other cars everything works fine.  However when i add additional cars, (even 1 or 2 more) about 1/2 the time, going through the turnouts they derail.  My track looks straight and the switch plates (?)seem to 'mate' with the track and running the cars through the turnouts with no power and me simply pushing them doesnt show any 'rough spots' that would could cause the derail.  I hope this makes some sense..I sure could use a suggestion.  Oh, this problem is not isolated to just one of the turnouts.  Thinking that the little n gauge cars are simply too light, I even taped a nickle to one thinging that might 'hold it down'.  Maybe helped a little, but not much.  Thanks so much for reading this.  mike

Do you mean "crossing gate"?

yes....my mistake.....i should have said crossing gate.
any info on size?

yes, i mean a crossing gate.....used the wrong description.
sorry.....
do you by chance know the length of the track on that little crossing?
thanks so much for taking the time to respond.

i would like to purchase a bachmann 44879 crossover, however
does anyone by chance know the measurements of this accessory?
i simply need to know if i can remove a couple of 5" straight pieces of track and replace them with the 44879 and have my track still measure evenly.
thanks for any help you could offer.
mike

again, my thanks....ill repost

thanks so much for your response....do you by chance know the size of the
'platform for the gate crossing piece?
mike

good afternoon....two questions re n accessories....
probably obvious, but im new....

1  will the 44871 bridge set mate or work with ez track?
2   will the 44879 crossing mate or work with ez track, and if so,
what is the size of the 'track board', or rather how much additional track space will be required.  i dont know how else to word my quesion..i simply need to know the overall size of the crossing gate part.

thanks so much if anyone can help.

mike

thanks so much for going to the trouble to respond.
at the present, just the remote turnout will solve my problem and
obviously less expensive.
again, my thanks,
mike

Im new at this.....just got a train set using ez track....
My question is this....
what is the difference between a remote turnout which is about $20 and a
single crossover turnout that sells for about $60?
Probably a very simple difference, but it is confusing me.
Any info from anyone?
Thanks so much.
Mike
