Programming E-Z Command DCC track turnouts

[@Pauley_in_GP]

Even three years later, your video continues to help. Thanks.

[@jonahwcarlson]

It does :)

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

You're welcome and, I'm glad to hear it helped :)

[@captainjamestkirk5350]

@@soulwinner4JESUS 6 years later really helps a ton I’ve only just really gotten into the hobby I’ve ran HO stock but never knew this thanks

[@jeffadams3277]

Just starting our layout with two turnouts. Running back down to try and do this. Thanks for spreading your knowledge.

[@WestVirginiaRailfan]

Jeff Adams if it is equipped with dcc

[@jeffadams3277]

Lol, I bought the wrong ones.

[@WestVirginiaRailfan]

Jeff Adams lol

[@ripjeffhanneman5838]

Thank God for this video. Dude I didn't even know these dcc turnouts existed. I came "this close" to buying wire remote switches!

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

So glad this video helped you and informed you about the possibilities of the E-Z track DCC system :)

[@bobbender2922]

I'm with you.

[@silverfox5319]

Very nicely done and easy to understand. Good job.

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

thank you, glad you thought so :)

[@ScarySnowflakes]

Are you building a layout? If you are, you should defiantly do layout updates and reviews and stuff like that. I originally subscribed to you because of your reviews on woodworking tools and now you made a video about ho scale stuff, I think that's awesome! Two thing I love, woodworking and model trains.

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

Yes I am in the process of building an HO scale layout, glad to hear you also like model trains :) That's a good idea, I shall make some videos of the progress of the layout build, I am going to use styrofoam to raise up the track. I just started and don't really have much done yet, I am now weathering the track and then soldering them all together.

[@ChazzLyons]

very nice, the DCC crossover looks pretty good! Thank you for posting!

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

Chazz Lyons you're welcome and thanks, yeah i like these DCC crossovers so far they have worked great.

[@ScarySnowflakes]

Tha really cool! I can't wait to see some updates.

[@Eclipse1988]

Being it's DCC, do you need to juice the frogs on ez track switches to avoid a short or power loss when switching? I also have older switches im re using to avoid spending 90 bucks a piece of these things (although future add ons will be wireless switches).

[@antoniojohnson6688]

Nice video there. Got ask did you cut green wires off from turnout crossover ez turnout track switches remote there? I noticed i didn't see any green wires there.

[@gleanerk]

Thanks for sharing the info. I wondered how they work. Can't wait to see you finished the layout!!!!! You're doing a GREAT job!!!! C U on the other side later!!!!!

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

ScottyRockTrains You're welcome i hope the tutorial helps and thanks, I can't wait to finish either haha i did get some more progress done and i just posted a video of the new progress :)

[@californiahauler6561]

Can I connect this to the rerailer on one side and on the other side have it be connected to the Bachmann DCC controller or no

[@coralbayrr9668]

nice informative video, did not realize that could be done with the easy command control. is there a way to change any of the cv on that control as well

[@russcole5685]

Direction only.

[@geraldgaffney1331]

Thank you working great

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

Glad to hear that!

[@jasonworden8209]

Can Bachmann EZ crossovers and turnouts be controlled with an NCE Power Cab?? 🤔

[@russcole5685]

Yes, by using macro function, not accessory function

[@jasonworden8209]

I figured it out and I do indeed use the accessory function.

[@russcole5685]

@@jasonworden8209 oh nice. 👍 Great to know, I was only repeating what I saw of someone else doing. Great to know. Thank you

[@russcole5685]

Was it as simple as programming using the bachmann controller. Eg, press and hold program button on the turnout, then selecting the address on the NCE

[@jasonworden8209]

@@russcole5685 yes! Hold the button on your turnout until it cycles. Then hit your accessory button on your power cab. Select what number you want that turnout to be, and hit enter. The turnout will cycle 3 times to verify it has been programmed, and you are good to go!

[@hhc19avn]

Great video. Straightforward and easy to understand. I am using a Bachmann EZ command system for an N scale layout. Bachmann does not make DCC turnouts in N scale. Do you know if ANY other turnouts can be used/programmed in this system? Can you also please answer the question about whether you can have a locomotive programmed to address 9 and still use address 9 to control turnouts?

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

I don't know about the N scale stuff and, as far as I know you can not use program 9 to run a locomotive

[@russcole5685]

They now do make a DCC decoder to control solenoid thrown switchs

[@russcole5685]

So I'm guessing these DCC turnouts use the loco ID9 it's not an accessory ID 9. Therefore, maybe we can control these turnouts with other NMRA friendly control units

[@Bamaboy35653]

Any chance that works with peco turnouts

[@jjbhomestead5217]

Do they make a DCC turnout for N scale or is it HO only?

[@johnyvico]

Do you still the blue wire connector or does it automatically connect to the track ?

[@disneyworlddelights]

Is it the same for you he ez command plus

[@sonic23233]

will this work with a 20 year old locomotives

[@WestVirginiaRailfan]

sonic23233 if it is equipped with dcc

[@Rusty2winfan]

Can you please share a link to what turnouts can be used so I'll buy the right ones. I found some Backmann right and left turnouts but they come with red wires and manual switches.. About $23 a piece

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

you have to buy the EZ command turnouts not the regular wire connection turnouts like this www.hobbylinc.com/bachmann-ez-command-4-turnout-left-ho-scale-nickel-silver-model-train-track-44139 hope that helps :)

[@Rusty2winfan]

Thank you sir

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

you're welcome

[@TechBuild]

Can this be used with the Digitrax stationary DCC decoder for turnouts?

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

To be honest I really don't know

[@TechBuild]

@@soulwinner4JESUS Ok, no problem.

[@johnnyrailer]

Very cool video. Dont know much about EZ Command. Thanks for sharing this. Im sure it will help people out. Who makes that tanker? Man it rolled nice.

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

+model railer the tanker is an old, very old tyco lol i put kadee metal wheels on it i try to put the metal wheels on all my cars.

[@rorymoore8982]

Does this controller work on Thomas and friends engines?

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

I don't know if this controller works with the Thomas engines.

[@amittrains3736]

Can we change from the default 28 speed steps to 128 speed steps using this controller ?

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

I think that the speed you are asking about is controlled from the dcc board on the engine but, I could be wrong, this dcc controller is compatible to run those speeds you asked about

[@KZinSalida]

How many switches can be programmed with the Bachmann E-Z Command?

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

@KZinSalida you can program 8 which consists of one working alone per channel (1-8) or you can program 16 which consists of 2 working together at the same time per channel (1-8)

[@KZinSalida]

Thank you for your help.

[@bobbender2922]

Thank you.

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

You're welcome

[@curtisjohnstonjr]

Thank you!

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

you're welcome

[@pixelsapex7582]

THE TRAINS AND THE TURNOUTS ARE ALL CAN BE CONTROLLED IN THE SAME SYSTEM? OR DO I NEED ANOTHER CONTROLLER JUST FOR TRAINS?

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

you can control everything from the one unit

[@kamala2111]

Nice

[@WestVirginiaRailfan]

So if I use #9 will I still be able to use 9 as a train id?

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

As far as I know you can not use program 9 to run a locomotive but, I could be wrong, if you have this unit, try it.

[@davidtheriot3205]

No you cannot use #9 to run a Locomotive if you are using it to run the turnouts. If you are not using #9 to run DCC turnouts, then yes you can use it to run a locomotive.

[@dylanwhite6539]

I’m assuming they get power from the track?

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

yes

[@sethpotter9592]

What f I have more than 8 turnouts?

[@BoG9110]

how to power it?

[@soulwinner4JESUS]

+Bo-Javin Griffith it plugs or hard wires into the same power track as any other power pack. so the power track of your train track will work for it.

[@BoG9110]

thank you
