Bachman Powered Switches

[Anonymous]

I'm new to all of this, so this question is probably stupid, but here goes. I recently bought some new Bachman EZ Track powered switches, but there are no wiring instructions. Anyone know what to plug into what? Help? I've got one green wire for each switch, and two red wires with plugs on one end and bare wire on the other. Help? Thanks in advance

You probably want to post this on the Model Railroad part of the forum.  That's where the HO/N croud usually hangs out.

Actually, this is from Bachman's own web site, "Ask The Bachman"

For E-Z Track --- Use the AC terminals of a standard model train DC power pack.
Red wires from the AC terminals on a standard DC power pack to the black remote control slide switch.
Remote control switches can be connected to each other.
Green wires from the remote control switch to a track turnout.

If you don�t have a standard model train type DC power pack with AC terminals then buy a power pack that does or purchase a 1 Amp or a little higher AC power supply (a.k.a. wall wart, wall brick) rated 12V to 18V with screw connectors from Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, or the like.

The requirement for more power depends more on the sum of current draw of each locomotive and lighted car on the track. One usually adds power feeder wires to several places on the layout handle long track runs. Refer to a book about model train layout wiring for details."

Thanks for your reply. I actually was able to figure it out with the help of another question I found from someone else. So I didn't have to resort to playing dead...yet.

Thanks!
