Planning my first layout and doing crazy amounts of research. Looked at tons of videos. These are absolutely the easiest to understand for me. Thank you for these. Helping a lot
Yes very informative!!!!! We needed a video on this for the very first time. You're the first model railroader railfan to do Bachmann EZ track dc analog block control!!! Thanks for the informative and educational model railroad video.
There are better isolating joiners on the market with thinner isolating pins on them, e.g. Fleischmann art. 6433 or Roco art. 42611 for scale H0. Isolating tracks might be interesting for digitally operated layouts as well. If a programming track is part of the layout it has to be fully isolated from the "normal" DCC-circuit. If there are large numbers of digitized rolling stock on the tracks it could save expensive digital power to turn their rest tracks off.
When moving a locomotive from one track to the other across the isolator, you must be careful that the direction and POLARITY are matching. I thought about doing this with red/green LEDs. Also, I would insulate BOTH rails, not just one.
Good question! They are crimped on there real tight. I've had to hold the rail with a tool while I pulled the joiner. Otherwise the rail will pull out too. Taking a fine screwdriver and loosening the crimp would possibly help as well.
@@themillrunandwesternmaryland11you should make a video talking about the electrical differences between remote turnouts and no 5 turnouts. Are the no 5 turnouts power routing?
Awesome video man and thank you for the shout-out as well very cool intro and it's very well put together. Keep on going my good friend

What code rail jointers do you use for the n scale? thx
Code 80 I believe
@@themillrunandwesternmaryland11 thank you. would I then connect another power pack with speed controller to a Terminal Rerailer?
it's very hard to get the rail joiners off of Bachmann ez track. How do you do that?

How do you loosen the crimp?
You could also hacksaw a gap on n the rail.
@@micahely1683 I actually just launched a short on that this morning. There may be a better way, but it's how I do it. Lol.

Informative. 👍
