Doesn't work without modification.
Summary: Don't buy this turnout unless you are prepared to do some filing of the switch-point rails and the frog to make it work correctly. You will also have to modify at least one piece of attaching EZ-Track.I have a Bachmann 4-4-0 American Steam DCC Central Pacific #60 Jupiter Wood Load Locomotive. It derailed *every time* when going through this turnout. After some research, I purchased a set of diamond files and filed the switch-point rails to make them thinner at the ends. This modification completely eliminated the derailing. Also, the engine would rock and raise up when crossing the frog. Upon looking at the turnout from the side, the cause was obvious; the frog was visibly higher than the rails! More filing resolved that problem too.There is another problem; the two diverging tracks are too close together to attach EZ-Track to both! I had to remove a triangular shape from the plastic of one piece for both pieces to connect. Not sure what is "EZ" about that.This turnout is expensive, and there is no excuse for having to modify it just to make it work.

3 of 4 were great the 4th part of the turnout track wasn't connected.
I got both the right and the left, both dcc, and both work.
