I just got my first train set in many years, so I wanted to test it out.  It's been a while, but it's not my first rodeo.  Saying that, I know the importance of proper track assembly.

So, everything is plugged up ready to go, and nothing. No light, no movement.  The first thing I noticed is that the engine's drive wheels won't move with my thumb.  Are they supposed to be that tight or should I be able to manually move them easliy?  I didn't try to force them.

I checked continuity on the track and that's good.  Should I be getting voltage across the track?  And what should it be?

Thanks,
musket
