I don't see anything for a track package. This is for Bachmann's E-Z TRACKĀ® General  Assembly Instructions -  https://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/dwg/dwgs/E-ZTrackInstructions_revised.pdf

You could try one of these. Not the official Bachmann video.

This is the video series narrated by Michael Gross. I think this might be what the DVD has on it.

The DVD in the track pack is the one with Michael Gross. The layout was originally built by a kids group in Madison, Wisconsin. Hence it's name, "Madison Central". Track packs to build it are available from several manufacturers, including Bachmann. The complete video included in all of the various track packs can be viewed here, for those without a DVD or Blu-Ray player:

There's a lot of useful info on that site for folks who are just getting started. And even old timers might pick up a tip or two.
