What a neat little set to add to a shelf layout. I'm sure you'll make it look interesting with Christmas Lego display. Thanks for sharing this with us. Cheers from Delmar ,Delaware
@JeffDM - You can also run the trolley on any standard HO scale train set track with a Bachmann DC controller that comes with any of Bachmanns various train sets. Also...the trolleys with the reversing circuit built in are the earlier versions of this trolley made by Dept.56 . They had a bump n go reverse circuit in the bumpers that acted like a switch.
I don’t think the trolley has any reversing electronics just the track. So the trolley will be fine. If you wanted to combine the tracks then I think you could just leave the tracks with the reversing circuits in them off and use the other pieces.
Eztrack joiners are very tough, not like the old ones, the gray track has ones that are actually stuck to the rail. You have to take a flat bladed screwdriver and completely destroy the joiner, I had to do this with any isolated section on my layout to use a plastic joiner in

Sehr schönes SET. Danke für's Zeigen.
It’s nice that it runs on a USB cable. You could plug it into a wall outlet as well with that. Good deal.
Thanks for posting, pretty neat!
Cool!
Thanks for posting this. I had no idea they made special track. I assumed they had some kind of reversing circuitry in the trolley.

Hey Steve, any chance to remove the reversing electronics and use them with Peco's On30 track? Just curious, as I am thinking of a small On30 layout.

Where there's a will, there's a way...
Nice video

Ah, ok interesting. I didn’t try to take any off. I haven’t used eztrack in a long time. Hopefully they are a bit more durable than before then.
