Hi, we received a Circus Train Ringmaster G Scale from our Aunt for Christmas. It was never set up and in new in the box. After setting it up, it seems to run very slow to me even at full on the power supply. Does anyone know what I can look for or do to get it running a bit faster or is this normal speed for the set? Like I said everything is new and was never setup. Also, does anyone know what year this set is from? Here is a video I took of it in operation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfylDlcQ8Co
Thank you,
John

The speed your locomotive is running is a good speed for the curve track it is running on. Faster speed will create more wear and tear.
Thank you. I'll give that a go.
