 I have all Bachmann EZ-Track on my HO layout and it works just fine with my Digitrax Zephyr. The type of decoder in your loco shouldn't be a problem. I use decoders from Atlas, Bachmann, Digitrax, NCE, Lenz and TCS. I don't have any problems with any of them.

Just make sure you drop enough feeders.  I have a temporary layout using S-Trax and I find that feeders before and after turnouts are usually necessary.

Enjoy

You should be OK.  I have HO Bachmann EZ track with the NCE Power Cab.  As for decoders, your loco work fine.  Good luck with it.

DCC and Snap or Easy Track
Posted by mike1352 on Monday, August 10, 2009 12:33 PM

I would like to know if Snap Track or Easy Track. Would be alright for DCC. I have both regular and snap, but at the moment for trying out the N Scale DCC I've purchased the Snap track would be easier to put together. Also one of the N Scales has a Lenz Chip is this going to be a problem? Thank You. mike1352
