Title: Bachmann circus train
Post by: dwh44 on October 26, 2011, 01:22:32 PM
Hi, Just purchased the B. circus train set....came without tracks or transformer.   Would like to run it on a 60 plus foot track with possibility of adding the White Yukon Pass train running as well.   Q?   What kind of power will I need and will the G scale GarGraves tin track be adequate for running inside only?   Thank you for any response.  They are both DC only, although the circus train has a sound system installed.

If Gargraves G Scale track is two rail you should have no problems with it.  Your locomotives will draw between .25 and .50 amps after break in on straight and level track, a littlke more on startup and curves pulling no cars.   It would be best to get a powerpack of at least 2 amps to be safe. if you plan to expand of want to pull a lot of cars a 5 amp pack would be better.

Have fun with your new train.
