Hi Saber480, Sometimes the track is under a panel on the bottom of the box if you have not yet checked there. You can use any G Scale Track and Transformer. If you plan to run the train outside you should buy brass track or other track suitable for outside use. Train sets like yours came with Track suitable for indoor use only. It is called steel alloy track. The power pack and controller for the set is here: http://shop.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=255_459&products_id=3173Track is here: http://shop.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=255_467You will most likely find lower prices at discount mail order retailers such as rldhobbies.com where you can get personal help toll free. Trainworld in New York is also good. There are others as well. Enjoy your new Train, Loco Bill

Hi. Don't buy that little transformer unless you only intend to run your trains for short periods of time. These particular transformers have a tendency to overheat and shut off after a short period of operation. Try this one instead: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4060-Lionel-Transformer-/122415389328?hash=item1c80869a90:g:hpoAAOSwol5Y1sjII have 2 (two) of these particular transformers and have used them for over 12 years to run all of my various G Scale trains for long periods of time with no problems. They are compatible with all brands of G Scale track. Take my advise and avoid the little Bachmann transformers as they have proven inadequate for G Scale trains! Andrew

Hi Robert. That type of track connection is all that I use now. It's reliable and doesn't pop off the rails like your set connector will. It is an overall excellent choice and the Bachmann made one is just as good as anything available. I have 2 of them and they're great! Andrew
