Compatibility of Bachman trains to LGB
Posted by railroader21 on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 9:51 PM
Hi, I've been constructing a point to point trolly layout and I was wondering if the Bachman trolley's will work with the LGB, reversing unit? Is it possible for the trolly to work with all of the magnets and sensors that LGB's use? Thanks again -railroader21

Absolutely! Check out my vid http://www.trains.com/grw/default.aspx?c=a&id=1353 . This is exactly what you are talking about. LGB auto reverse + Bachman trolley. I’ve also ran Aristo, HLW, custom by Vic, in short if it takes power from the rails it will work nicely on LGB Auto Reverse Unit. The key is in placement of the Isolator sections. Make sure that the isolator is just about half inch to an inch from where you want the trolley to stop.
