A power pack (transformer) is what powers the train. you can adjust speed with it, and connect some accessories to it. You can get more details at the Model Railroader forum., but oh well, we all live and learn.  They have more anwsers than we have.

challenger3980-tnx for a answer!

but I have a few more questions:

1.am begginer-and I need to ask what is a power pack?

   To Answer your questions, I could not find the 931-708 locomotive and caboose pack on their website, but I am going to guess looking at the price, that it is a Life-Like set, not their higher end Proto series. This would be a entry level "TRAIN SET" type locomotive, not the best quality, but I don't know what your budget is being 14.

  The Athearn 140-7834 Great Northern car would be better replaced by the Athearn 140-7854 or 140-7855 as these are Santa Fe cars that will be appropriate be hind your Santa Fe locomotive. Also the Athearn 140-7850 Baggage car would be a good addition to this set, and these are all currently listed on their website, and at the same price as the Great Northern car.  If the locomotive is one of the F-units modeled after the EMD F-unit models these would make for a nice branch line type train.

   What I see missing is a power pack, do you already have one? If not the 500-1300 MRC 1300 would be your least expensive choice from this supplier, but for the extra $5.60, if your budget allows, the 500-200, MRC-200 would be a worth while improvement, for the small price difference.

                                                             Good Luck and Have Fun,
