Hi all .... I'm just getting started in HO gauge layouts. I started with a Bachman Old Tyme Village Passenger kit which included E-Z track. I didn't use the E-Z track - I bought some standard nickel-silver track and cork roadbed. My question is this: can the inexpensive engine be so light that it doesn't track reliably? Of course I've learned everything the hard way (:<)) <br /> <br />I've checked the ballast, cleaned the tracks, etc. and even removed the front wheels of the engine. I noticed that the front wheels weren't heavy enough to track reliably. <br /> <br />Thanks for you comments, <br /> <br />Dean Dameworth <br />Hartsville, SC
