Thanks, Rotor. I appreciate the feedback you've given me on several occasions!

Thanks, everyone! Everyone has been so helpful!

Thanks, Timothy. Makes sense. I was just shocked that it overheated so quickly. I appreciate the feedback.

Strangely, after leaving everything off and unplugged for about 20 minutes, it's working now. Overheated? It was only running for a few minutes when it suddenly stopped working. Any ideas?

I'm stumped! I recently bought my daughter a basic HO starter kit (a Bachmann Red Rock Express). It was working without any problems since the day we bought it. She had been running it the past few days with just the locomotive. Today it was running fine. Everything was turned off and...

Thanks, frog!

Hi Joe, Not sure exactly what you mean by elevating a mainline curve, but I'm sure someone on this forum can answer that. My layout is flat.

Thanks, everyone. Great suggestions!

I'm new to model trains and recently started building an HO layout on plywood; the track is Atlas HO code 100. I haven't tacked down the track yet, but I noticed when I was messing around with the locomotive today that it sounded like it wasn't running as smooth as it should. The total layout...

Thanks, Greg! So much to learn, soooo much to learn. But, it's exciting!

Thanks! Members have been so helpful. I really appreciate it!

Galaxy, this is great information. Thanks again! I appreciate everyone's input!

Brian, thank you! This is exactly the type of solution I was looking for. I really appreciate the help!

Thanks, Brian. Question: The Bachmann power supply that was included in the kit has a power cable with a modular plug at the end that just plugs directly into the track. However, I noticed that the Atlas track has terminal screws. Is there a different cable that I can plug into my Bachmann...

Timothy and Rotor, thank you both very much for the feedback! If I switch to Atlas track, do I have to use an Atlas power supply? I assume that the connector for my Bachmann power supply isn't compatible with the connector for Atlas. Is this correct? Also, I found this Atlas power supply...

I'm a complete newb when it comes to scale model trains, but quite enthusiastic and hoping to learn quickly. I picked up a Bachmann starter set (HO scale) for my daughter and I to enjoy, and to be honest, it's quite nice for the price. But, I think we're going to outgrow e-z track and I want...

Hi everyone! A brief intro. I'm a complete newb to model trains but have been fascinated since I was a child. When I was in 2nd grade, a very generous neighbor gave me a fully built set when he started building a much bigger layout. Unfortunately, I had to give it away when we moved a year...
