rockershovel Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I’ve turned my attention to the Bachmann EZ Track that came in a box with one of the Lionel job lots. I notice that the power connector track has two cables, both with two wires. Why? Is this just to provide a connector on both sides? Is it a DCC connector of some sort?

298 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Is one end of the cable a plastic rectangle that fits onto the two metal spade connectors on a track piece, with a 3.5mm jack on the other end....? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted December 17, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2019 I just had a look at our track. The terminal section has a socket on each side. Only one needs to be connected. I couldn't look at it to see if the wires keep polarity through i.e. red to red and black to black. The redundant cable should just pull out.

Two open-ended connectors to fit the screws on a small Athearn controller, but otherwise, yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
