Greetings everyone. Once again, thank you all for the warm welcomes and helpful advice. Since my last post I have upgraded a couple items. I purchased a new Tech 4 MRC220 transformer. It sure is powerful! When I used the old transformer I could turn it up all the way without problem. I can only go up to about 75 percent before the loco starts riding on half its wheels around the corners. I understand that it's not about how fast you can get the train. This was strictly for testing purposes. The momentum button is a great feature too! Thanks AntonioFP45 for your suggestion on this item! The second item I purchased was a Bachmann HO USRA 0-6-0 W/Smoke & Tender (NYC) locomotive. I know it's nothing extravagant, but it's a start! I really wanted an old time looking steamer that puffed smoke. This little loco reminds me of. "The LIttle Engine That Could"! I can already tell that these old time steamers are going to become a passion for me. I am waiting on new track. The new track I want to get is the "real" looking track that you have to nail down. I don't know what it is called. Next project I want to work on is a winter scene to show off for next season. I think it will probably take me til next season to have it finished and ready for display! I have some questions on this so I will close this post for now and post the questions I have in the Layouts and layout building forum.. OffTheTrack
