Track Talk Live’s team of Clickity (Doug Hodgdon) and Clack (Steve Doyle) took the show on the road to the historic Wayzata Depot in the western Twin Cities. The 110-year old depot was built by The Empire Builder – James J. Hill – and still retains much of the original fixtures and furniture. Located on the former mainline of the Great Northern Rwy, viewers were treated to a BNSF eastbound freight highballing into Minneapolis. In between fielding questions from viewers, the team toured the depot as well as a G Scale layout on the grounds outside which attracts thousands of visitors each year to the shores of Lake Minnetonka.

I AM BUILDING AN EZ TRACK LAYOUT AND HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DOING A CROSS TRACK AND HAVING REVERSE POLARITY PROBLEMS . HAVING BACHMANN WORKING ON THIS. ANY SUGGESTIONS FROM YOUR END?? I HAVE TWO PIECES OF GAP TRACK. THE LAYOUT IS AN OVAL WITH 22″ RADIUS AND A TURNOUT SECTION GOING ACROSS AT HALF WAY WHICH REVERSES THE DIRECTION OF THE TRAIN. AND ALSO REVERSES THE POLARITY.
THANK YOU
