Bachman EZ Track
Posted by rbjordan on Saturday, July 16, 2005 8:41 PM
With my DCC decoder finally installed in my locomotive, and my Atlas "Commander/Generator) at the ready, it was time for me to complete my Bachman EZ track connections and enjoy my first "trial run".

My EZ track set includes: 2 left switches, 2 right switches, 1 terminal/rerailer, 1 rerailer, four plastic swtiches, (that I assume are to be connected somehow to the 4 switch tracks), four switch wires (green) and two terminal wires (red).......and.......I haven't a clue how to complete all of these connections. The instruction sheet that came with my tracks does not provide much of a clue either.

Please help!

The slide controllers (four plastic switches) plug into each other.There are tabs
and terminals that let you plug them into each other.These are located on the sides of the slide controllers.So you will end up with a row of 4 plastic switches.(slide controllers)
The green switch wires just plug into the top of the slide controllers.
The 2 terminal wires(red) go to the terminals that are AC power for accessories on the one side(on the power pack you are using for your AC power) and into the right hand side of one of the plastic switches on the other.
If the switches came in a blister package the diagram should be on the back
just in case my rambling is too incoherent.
hope this helps.
