Not having the lockon is no excuse to not run trains. If worse comes to worse, you can even thread pieces of 16 gauge wire into the little metal barrels on a power brick and work from there.

Thanks Ben! I got her running now. I am new at this so I would have never thought of what you suggested. Time to get off here and go run the train. [:D]

Get a hold of a transformer. New trains must be run! We want to see your new train in action. That Fastrak sure looks nice in your photo. Enjoy!!!!!

The UPS truck cane yesterday and dropped off most of my train. I can't run it yet because my TMCC Direct lock on is on back order until sometime in June. Oh well. So I have been working on the layout all day. My new 4-6-2 Pacific looks great and so do the cars but I won't know how or if it runs for a little while.

Here is a picture of part of my layout and train. Boy this is fun I am like a kid at Christmas. [:D]
