I thank you soo very much! my problem looks like it is with the track (bad connection some where) I'm going to mess around with it for a while and see if I can figure it out. Your a great person for taking the time to give me all the good info.

dc dcc don't know, everything is as perfect as it was multiple times I put the cars on the track. except for those sparks the last time

my new baldwin 4-6-0 ran for a few mintues started to run slow in some spots then sparkes came from the front and at track connections. now I get no power to train
