E-Z Air Motion Controls is a system of pneumatic components that offer simple, rugged, remote control of parts of your model railroad system.
You can use E-Z Air to control turnouts, crossing gates, semaphore signals, engine house doors, mine tipples, water tank spouts.. , the list is endless, and limited only by your imagination. E-Z Air is not scale specific. It is being used on Z scale indoor layouts up to G scale outdoor garden railways.
E-Z Air has only the finest in components. All are made from corrosion resistant materials, including brass, stainless steel, Delrin, nylon and nitrile (buna-n) rubber. Our actuator is of a totaly new design, using robust parts for long life. Weather, especially moisture, doesn't affect E-Z Air components like it can electrical components. As a test, we submerged an actuator in water and cycled it until it's open end was totally full. We then put it in the deep freeze at 0 Fahrenheit for two days. After thawing it out, it worked fine. No leaks. The internal ice didn't harm it. Just like new
E-Z Air offers various methods of control, including: control from one location, control from two, three or more locations simutaneously, control from one of a number of selectable locations, and electro-pneumatic control for command control or radio control users. Actuation may be immediate, or slowed by using our Throttle Valve. For complicated pneumatic control systems, we offer custom design and fabrication services.
Above is the Air Toggle valve (EZ610) and the Actuator with mounting bracket (EZ510). Actuator EZ500 has no mounting bracket. This allows the EZ500 to fit in the Del-Aire© clip and Llagas Creek Railways© mount. The Under Table Actuator, EZ520, is designed for mounting under your train table or bench work to operate Z through G scale turnouts.
Our EZ570 Converter Actuator, shown above left, can convert Aristo-Craft©, LGB©, H & R©, U.S.A. Trains© and Bachmann© turnouts to air control, simply and quickly. Our EZ560 Converter Actuator, shown above right, is for use on Llagas Creek Railways©, Sunset Valley©, Parker© and other turnouts (including home built) where the long "head ties" are already in place. For Peco G-45 turnouts, a variation of the EZ570 called the EZ575 is available.

In addition to our standard line of pneumatic components we are pleased to offer design and fabrication services to meet specialized needs. Please feel free to contact us with your requirements.
If any of you E-Z Air users would like to share photos of your layouts, especially any unusual E-Z Air applications or installations, please e-mail us with digital photos attached. If you don't have a digital camera, send us photographs for scanning. We'll return them. We'll post your photos in the gallery for everyone to see. Thanks!
