    Atlas HO-12 The over and under Dog bone

    Has anyone built this layout? Please send pictures if you can. Is this track plan available on SCARM or Atlas track software or any other track software programs? I have the #9 Atlas book for beginners, not much to go with.

    Bachmann EZ-Track plan TT-9

    Turn 3 and turn 5 will make a continuous loop. One is the main line with 2 trains and the other is the inside for 1 train. These are the only switches that I need to change (switch) when the train comes through.

    Bachmann EZ-Track plan TT-9

    I will try to clarify. I am using Atlas True-Track. Layout TT-9. Eagle Rock Route. All of my track is Bachmann snap track. I am running 3 trains.

    Bachmann EZ-Track plan TT-9

    Yes. I would like to us DC control system. I would like to set up blocks. As one locomotive comes into a block a IR signal picks it up. Then it transfers power to the switch ahead to move in the correct position, using an Atlas snap relay. As the locomotive comes out of the switch, another IR...

    Bachmann EZ-Track plan TT-9

    I might be on the slow side; I have put together this layout on a 4x8 sheet of plywood. So far everything is working fine. I am running DC for this layout.

    Circuitron Tortoise Switch Machine ???

    Thanks for all of your replies. Now explain if they can be used on Bachmann's ez-track turn outs. I also like the use of the Atlas snap relays for the use of panel lights.

    Circuitron Tortoise Switch Machine ???

    I might be old school. My question: The Circuitron Tortoise Switch Machine is used on DCC track systems only? Can it be used on a DC track system? I need to replace my old Atlas Snap Relays with a good switching unit on my DC track layout. Someone please explain.

    Atlas #200 Snap-relay

    I have 8 turnouts on my layout. I was wondering if I can add trackside signal lamps (Dwarf signal Leds) and 3 lamp signal towers to one snap relay? Looking at the Instruction sheet for the Atlas #200, figure 4 and figure 5, can 1 snap relay work to do both? If so, please send me a diagram. I...

    LED lighting

    Is there any way to add red and green led lights for detection and signals at trackside and at the control panel using the old school Atlas snap relay #200 and the ez track turnouts using the Atlas switch controls? All of this is not on a dcc system.
