Track to Track
Posted by FThunder11 on Saturday, October 18, 2003 8:43 AM
Does anyone know a way to connect Bachmann E-Z Track and Atlas Nickle track. If you know that would be a big help.[8]

Well, if the Atlas track isn't True Track (a brand of track from Atlas), then just connect the little rail joiners on the end of each track peice.

Make sure the Atlas is Code 100 rails. If it is True track, you will need to do some surgery to each track's end. Square them off and expose the rail ends enough to attach joiners

It isnt True Track, so i just can connect them at the rail joiners and I don't need to do anything like cut off the EZ track connectors?

You don't have to cut off the connectors. Just try to hook the track up like you would do with regular non plastic roadbed track.

You might have trouble with the built-in roadbed on the E-Z Track - if it's for a permanant layout then you can use pre-cut cork roadbed under the Atlas track to bring it up to the same height (if there's still a slight height difference, use some thin card to level it out).
