I am brand new to this awesome hobby. I received an engine from a HO Scale. So I went out and bought a Bachmann Train Set that was HO, and I noticed that the engines had a significant difference. <br /> <br />The one I received as a gift was far superior is quality (Arthern or something similiar was the company that made it) but the wheels are not metal like the Bachmann engine is. So I am guessing that is why the Arthern engine does not move as its wheels are plastic. The Arthern engine was pretty much pre-built and I just needed to add some cosmetic stuff. Is there a way for me to get this train engine to work? I noticed on the side of the box it came in it shays "Dummy" does that mean that it is not a real engine? Found it odd that this train was $50 and the Bachmann set I bought was $50 (caught it on sale). <br /> <br />Again I am new at all this. Just need me some help :)
