wireing up my track
Posted by nscaletrain on Sunday, March 8, 2009 4:20 PM

HELP!!!  I'm just starting out, have my track all layed out (n-sale), but I can't get the engine to run, I've tried everything to get the wireing connected right, but no luck.  need some advice on how to hook this up right.  I am using the lifelike controller for now, have tested the controller and it works, any suggestions, thanks.

This may sound stupid, but if the transformer works, and you have electrical connection to the track properly, could the engine be dead? Check it.

Or have you a short somewhere in your trackage?

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
