Transform your N scale railroad with snap-together E-Z Track accessories from Bachmann Trains, featuring graduated pier sets, girder bridges in CSX, Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific liveries, motorized turntables, and crossing gates. Pair with N Scale Bachmann E-Z Track and N Scale Bachmann Locomotives for easy-to-build layouts with integrated roadbed.
Bachmann E-Z Track accessories provide the essential components for expanding N scale layouts beyond basic track configurations, offering bridges, elevated structures, operating features, and scenic details that integrate seamlessly with the popular E-Z Track snap-together system. The E-Z Track system revolutionized model railroading by incorporating molded roadbed directly into track sections, eliminating the need for separate roadbed installation and simplifying layout construction for beginners while providing reliable performance that satisfies experienced modelers. These accessories maintain the same snap-together convenience and integrated roadbed design, enabling modelers to add bridges, elevated trackwork, turntables, and animated crossing gates without complex installation procedures or specialized tools. Each accessory is engineered to work perfectly with E-Z Track geometry, ensuring proper fit, reliable electrical connections, and stable mechanical support that enables quick assembly and trouble-free operation.
The pier set collection provides essential vertical support for creating elevated trackwork and multi-level layouts with E-Z Track sections. The 16-piece graduated pier set includes multiple heights that enable smooth grade transitions from ground level to elevated track, with each pier precisely sized to create consistent inclines that locomotives can climb reliably. This graduated approach prevents excessive grades that would cause locomotive stalling or uncoupling problems, while the multiple pier heights accommodate various elevation requirements from modest rises over roads to substantial elevation changes for crossing lower track levels. The 8-piece tall pier set provides uniform-height supports for maintaining level elevated trackwork once the desired elevation is reached, creating stable platforms for yards, sidings, or mainline running at consistent heights. Both pier systems feature stable bases that resist tipping, proper spacing that matches E-Z Track section lengths, and molded details that replicate concrete or timber trestle construction. The piers snap securely to E-Z Track roadbed, ensuring that elevated sections remain properly aligned and supported during operation.
The girder bridge lineup showcases authentic railroad paint schemes that add prototype character to layout bridge crossings. The CSX girder bridge features the distinctive blue and yellow livery of one of North America's largest railroads, representing modern freight operations across the eastern United States. The Norfolk Southern bridge displays the black and white scheme of this major eastern carrier, capturing contemporary railroad infrastructure. The Union Pacific bridge showcases the yellow and red colors of America's largest railroad, bringing western railroading character to layouts. The Take The Train bridge promotes passenger rail service with distinctive graphics encouraging ridership. Each bridge includes detailed side girders with proper depth and structural appearance, integrated E-Z Track roadbed that maintains consistent rail height and geometry, and snap-together installation that requires no tools or adhesives. The railroad-specific liveries enable prototype modelers to match their chosen railroad's infrastructure while adding visual interest and corporate identity to bridge crossings.
The blinking bridge models add animated realism with integrated LED lighting that simulates warning beacons alerting river traffic or road vehicles to bridge presence. Available in black and silver finishes to match different layout color schemes and eras, these bridges include battery-powered lighting systems that create realistic blinking patterns without requiring connection to layout power supplies. The self-contained lighting enables placement anywhere on layouts without wiring concerns, while the distinctive blinking effect adds operational interest and nighttime realism. The truss bridge provides classic railroad bridge styling with open framework construction that creates visual interest as trains pass through the structural members. The truss design replicates the triangulated engineering that characterized medium-span railroad bridges, offering more substantial appearance than simple girder bridges while maintaining the snap-together convenience of the E-Z Track system.
The motorized turntable brings authentic locomotive servicing operations to N scale layouts, enabling realistic engine terminal scenes where locomotives are turned for return trips or positioned for roundhouse storage. This operating accessory features a motorized bridge that rotates smoothly to align with multiple radiating tracks, allowing locomotives to enter the turntable, rotate to the desired track alignment, and exit onto service tracks or roundhouse stalls. The turntable includes a control system for precise positioning, electrical connections that maintain power to locomotives during rotation, and sturdy construction that handles repeated operation reliably. Turntables were essential features of steam-era engine terminals and remained important for diesel operations where locomotives needed turning or where space-efficient track arrangements required rotating equipment. This accessory enables modelers to create authentic engine servicing facilities with roundhouses, coaling towers, water tanks, and maintenance shops arranged around the turntable.
The crossing gate adds animated grade crossing protection with operating gates that lower when trains approach and raise after trains pass, replicating the safety equipment that protects road traffic at railroad crossings. This operating accessory includes detection circuitry that senses approaching trains and activates the gate mechanism automatically, creating realistic crossing operations without manual intervention. The gates feature proper scale proportions, distinctive striped patterns, and smooth operation that enhances layout realism. The railer accessory provides a practical solution for placing derailed rolling stock back on track without lifting equipment or risking damage to delicate details. This simple tool features guide rails that align wheels with track rails, enabling quick rerailing during operating sessions. The railer is essential for layouts where frequent operation or tight curves occasionally cause derailments that need quick correction.
These accessories integrate seamlessly with N Scale Bachmann E-Z Track sections including straight, curved, turnouts, and crossings to create comprehensive layouts. Combine bridges and elevated structures with N Scale Bachmann Locomotives to demonstrate how railroads crossed obstacles and created multi-level operations. Add N Scale Bachmann Scenery products to enhance bridge approaches, turntable areas, and crossing locations with structures, figures, and landscape details. Expand operations with N Scale Locomotives from other manufacturers that operate reliably on E-Z Track. The consistent geometry and electrical compatibility of E-Z Track accessories ensure that all components work together reliably, supporting both simple starter layouts and complex permanent installations with equal effectiveness.
E-Z Track accessories are specifically designed for easy installation without requiring modeling experience or specialized tools. The snap-together connections ensure proper alignment and secure attachment, while the integrated roadbed maintains consistent track geometry automatically. Bridges install by simply snapping track sections into the bridge roadbed, with no need for precise measurements or custom fitting. Pier sets stack and connect to create desired elevations, with graduated heights that automatically create proper grades. The motorized turntable includes comprehensive instructions for installation and wiring, while the crossing gate features simple detection setup that works with any E-Z Track configuration. This beginner-friendly approach enables new modelers to create impressive layouts quickly, while experienced modelers appreciate the time savings and reliable performance for temporary layouts, modular sections, or permanent installations where quick construction is desired.
