This review is from: Bachmann Trains Nickel Silver E-Z Track Reversing System-Ho Scale (Toy)
I ordered this for my n scale layout. It fitted the space on the upper level perfectly. At first when I set it up I had problems understanding why the trolley did not go to the end of the track……I did order some additional straight track, and I figured out (the instructions are not very clear and very little) the trolley does stop on two tracks, one track with the wires connected and another track that had a very small split in the track itself mid way, the track with the wire connected has the same split. This is to stop the trolley and reverse it.
I did have problems with the curve track, some of the little medal connectors came loose I did put them back but evidently they have to be attached very snuggly….so I just replaced the track. Over all I am pleased, I just wish the connection wire was longer that attaches to the controller.

The auto reversing works just great, I really like it. The amount of supplied reversing track is a little deceiving. The supplied straight track only includes 4 pieces of reversing track; two of which are the sensing sections which only provide one-half of each track as usable track. Thus without the curved pieces you only have three usable lengths for reversing operations on straight track only (about 27 inches). The sensing tracks sense cars that draw current (locomotives, lighted cars, etc.) and they trigger the reversing circuit when one of these cars crosses the sensing track segments. The other two pieces of straight track are for cars that extend beyond any current drawing cars when the end of the train approaches the sensing track segments. Thus if you need a straight run of more then a couple feet you will need more straight reversing track pieces. When I read the description of six pieces of straight track I assumed there would be more straight track run provided. Overall a great little addition.

Every so often, some third-party advertiser does an image miss-match in the Amazon system and it sticks for months or years before it is fixed.
The set being advertised on this page is what you would buy if you already had an O or HO streetcar or small locomotive that you wanted to run back and forth. The set shown is a different set, more expensive, that includes the streetcar and little barn.
The set that is advertised makes is VERY VERY easy to add a back-and-forth steetcar or small train to any holidy village or tight spot. So it gets 5 stars. It’s just not the set shown.
Unless the image is correct and the description is wrong . . . go figure!
Best of luck,

Over all very nice.,
I did have problems with the curve track, some of the little medal connectors came loose I did put them back but evidently they have to be attached very snuggly….so I just replaced the track. Over all I am pleased, I just wish the connection wire was longer that attaches to the controller.
