Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We purchased a Bachmann train set for my son this Christmas and quickly decided to expand his track to add a little complexity. The idea of having an electric turnout track seemed sound. Unfortunately the Bachmann remote turnout may cause consistent derailment if not set up with a leading straight track. The train (specifically medium to long wheelbase) needs to come in pretty straight in order to make the turn on the turnout. Still, after making the layout adjustment to remove any curves before the right turnout (after is fine) much of my stock seems to derail anyway.
One nice thing about the switch is the it does not derail straight path traffic when left in the turnout position so you don't always have to switch it back right away like the manual turnouts. I'd also like to add that having turnouts and sidings really adds a lot to a train layout. You go from simply running around in circles to actually having to maneuver engines and rolling stock. Parking cars and switching adds a whole new and much more complex dimension.
So, if you want an electric turnout and can lead the turnout with a straight, look elsewhere. I regret the purchase and would return it if I could.

This Bachmann HO remote switch is from Bachmann's exclusive snap fit E Z Track System. Made of nickel silver track with a gray roadbed, it's easy to snap together. This lefthand turnout has a remote control switch machine so the switch can change the rail's direction from a control panel rather than from the switch.
