Dear Bill,
It will be fine on any 45mm track. I mix all brands of track on my railroad with no issues.
Have fun!

Consider our reversing track setup, Item No.44547. It has everything you need to set up a linear display.
Happy New Year!

Dear Wiz,
The North Star is a rather old set, so the track connections might be loose. You can use small zip ties to snug them together, and this should ameliorate the other issues.
Good luck!

Dear Tascam,
It sounds like dirty track. Your hobby shop should have a good liquid track cleaner, and we have several track cleaning cars that may help.
Have fun!

Dear Rhino,
The most likely cause is a rail joint or two where the rail is sitting on top of, rather than in, the rail joiner. Rub your finger along the track to feel for any rough spots.
Good luck!

Dear Steve,

Dear 82,
At the reverse point there is a tiny gap in one rail. cleaning that out with an Xacto blade often helps.
I believe you can reposition the power pack as well.
Good luck!

Dear Rick,
You can wire them in series or parallel; whatever works for you.
Have fun!
