My first setup--Bachmann Spectrum Steam Locomotive HO scale, brand new. MRC Tech 4 220 power pack brand new. All track and wiring are new as well. Everything is mounted on a sheet of plywood. I hooked up the power pack last night and put the train on the track. Almost nothing happened. I can hear a slight buzzing in the tender car which is wired to the locomotive. I get no forward or reverse movement from the locomotive. I have switched direction on the power pack, pointed the train in both directions, rewired the terminal track. Nothing seems to help. I get the same slight buzzing wherever the train is on the track so I believe there is power all the way around. Your thoughts appreciated. You can email me directly a jball@leapwireless.com. Thanks, Jim
