Hook two wires up from the power pack to the rails. Plug the powerpack in. Put the train on the track. Run trains.

Or is there something more to simply running trains?

What "parts" are you talking about? Your complaints do not even relate to the hobby I am engaged in. If you have DCC you need a basic system and a decoder in each locomotive and EVERY MANUFACTURER MAKES THAT CLEAR IN THEIR LITERATURE. If you're using DC you need a power pack (transformer), some track, and a locomotive and you're in business. Please tells us SPECIFICALLY what has you upset without references to nose picking, etc. and we'll try to help.
