    Opinions on Bachmann EZ track for a beginner

    You have a complicated layout- from the few pictures posted that I saw. I would think that you might use more flex type track and permanently install everything. I still have not decided on a course I will take. What I do like are the DCC controls. Can one link the operation of all the...

    Opinions on Bachmann EZ track for a beginner

    Just seemed cheap. The grey or silver is better than the black. The black looks very cheap. I question how many times you can set it up and put it away, It looks like it wil lnot stand up.

    Opinions on Bachmann EZ track for a beginner

    ***************** I am starting from scratch. I bought Kato, EZ Track, and Atlas. I sold all the stuff except for the Kato track on E Bay. I am the same as you. #6 switches. I am looking for quality. I bought some Bachmann stuff and sold it all. The Proto engines I like. I bought...

    I have a smaller layout. I bought the EZ Track, looked at it at decided to sell it on E Bay and replace with Kato. The EZ track has more pieces. Kato seems better made.

    HO apartment layout

    Actually what is small ?? I looked on You Tube and guys with small layouts seem big. I think the smallest practical is 40 x 72 inch, and that holds just one 18"R loop. Probably 48 x 72 is the smallest. That allows double loops plus some extra half loops. In an appartment it is good to...

    Opinions on Bachmann EZ track for a beginner

    I am not an expert. After being away from HO for some time I re-started. But I have bought a variety of equipment and am still testing some. I am making a smaller layout with DCC and some good engines. I am using silver EZ Track for now. But I am happy to chat. Both EZ Track and...

    Some Questions

    Interesting. I am the same as you, just getting back. But I took a deep breath and went DCC. Also, quality is important and I prefer Proto and MTH engines based on my buying and testing a variety of stuff. The Bachmann cars are okay. You can buy what you need on E Bay not too expensive...

    HO apartment layout

    Very nice plan. I live in an appartment and came to the same conclusion. I was tempted to build a linear layout. But I settled on two parallel loops like your design. Have two loops connected by crossovers plus perhaps a third line or oneor two half loops for staging. My only twist would...
