HO / power supply
January 29, 2015, 06:32:40 PM
I have one train DYNAMIS SOUND COMMANDER- MAINE CEN BAC1403 and added some track and a second loop. so I have a inner loop and outer loop. I could run a second train at the same time.

question is do I need a second power supply or will the existing one work fine with 2 trains?

I'm new to all this ...

thanks!

HO / frequent "derailing"
January 29, 2015, 06:29:13 PM
I have the DYNAMIS SOUND COMMANDER- MAINE CEN BAC1403 and added some more track to make some kind of l-shaped layout.

the train frequently derails "slightly" causing shorts when going slow over turnouts ... when going faster this seems to not be a problem.

but because it's such a small layout altogether going fast doesn't make much sense. but going slow the train stops once or twice each loop because of "short" ... normally can be restarted by just pressing stop ...

what can I do to cause the de-railing? it seems to be mainly the very front "guide wheel?"

thanks!

HO / good dcc starter pack

I want to get my son and myself into train stuff ... I did it years ago, but I'm looking for something to start but good enough to keep growing with it.

any suggestions?

Thanks
