I have not tried the brand new E-Z Streets, but have bought a motor upgrade kit from Williams by Bachmann for an unpowered B unit and have had no problems for just over a year. I hope their other stuff is just as good.

Has anyone tried the new Bachmann E-Z Streets?  My experience with Bachmann has been that the quality can be really good or really bad.  Fortunately Bachmann has been moving in the 'Really Good' direction.  Hopefully, there E-Z Streets will reflect that.

Bachmann has some new stuff for O gauge as well in the Williams, even a new handcar.

The set-up is easy, and you can run mainly streetcars or trolleys on the Super Streets, the curves are extremely tight. Now Bachmann has the exclusive rights to it and is selling it as E-Z Track. Go to the Bachmann Trains website and click on Williams. www.bachmanntrains.com

The old Lionel/K-Line SuperStreets are no longer being manufactured.  Bachmann has picked up the product with a product called E-Z Streets.

 

Here is a link that shows what can be done with SuperStreets:

Has anyone used these things to model on their layout? I am curious if they are worth the cost and how they are to set up?
