thanks everyone

Welcome. I don’t know about mixing those two, but most fit together one way or another.

To run two trains, use DCC. If that is new to you ask more questions. It is the way to go.

Welcome to the forum. DCC is the best way to go.

thx

You can have a short curcuit. You need to read about DCC in general and then read the book that comes with the unit you get. Shorts don’t bother the layout, except it won’t run, but it can hurt decoders. There is some to learn. Read up and ask more questions.

Anything can short at anytime, read all you can and ask questions. There are a lot of DCC topics on different pages of this forum.

yes, no problem.

yes, you should design to prevent it.

Can you run Bachman steel and N?S. Yes, I did it.

Now make a loop or something with that Bachman track so you can run your tarains and then get some flex track for your layout. Don’t use EZ track for your layout. I did and there have been nthing but problems. I was warned, but I figured I had too much invested. If I had bitten the bullet and scraped it when I knew I made a mistake, I’d have save a lot of grief.

thx everyone but i have 1 more questiong i put in first post

http://www.atlasrr.com/ has some pretty good flextrack, both code 100 and 83, and if you have time to figure out the Peco site, they have some nice code 70, I think. http://www.peco-uk.com/products.htm

Wiz - we typically don’t “close” our threads here. We prefer to leave the original threads with the original titles, although someone will occasionally add “answered” or something similar to the end. The forum threads are on a push-down stack, and a new thread or an update automatically comes back to the top. If nobody updates a thread for a while, it slowly sinks down to the bottom.
