Review: Great set with purchase of track expansion pack - The instructions were slightly lacking with expansion pack operation, but with the DC controller I figured out that turning to channel 10 then applying increased power is what will actually drive the track switches from the expansion track pack . I had to hook the switches in line before the main power connected to the track. Also make sure all your loops only allow travel in one direction. if you try to connect a loop so the track runs backwards onto itself it seems like it will short circuit out and the trains won't run. All the track pieces went together nice and smoothly, the trains both started on channel 3 correctly. It was super easy to switch them to channel 1 and 2. They ran at the same time flawlessly. There are lots of good youtube videos to help with ideas for layouts. I'd recommend this for kids 6-9 with adult assistance, and over 9 just show them how to be careful with the track connectors then let the kids work out the kinks. Overall a decent value for the quality and price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you buy 2 sets, connect and run them?**
A: Yes you can. You can use all the track, one controller and assign all locos to that controller to run them.

**Q: Can I plug the DCC system into my Life-like track**
A: Yes you can! If you have the power loc track, the easiest way is to just buy the life-like track adapter and hook in the terminal  re-railer section, The ez command pugs right in to re-railer. If you have the room, you could also use the track adapter to attach some or all of the track up to your existing layout. If you have the old style Ho track, you can use the included adapter, at least i think one comes with the set, to connect up the ez command station to your old layout. don't forget to disconnect your old power pack(s) from the track first! Hope this helps!

**Q: I have a different bachmann set that uses steel alloy ez track. i noticed this set is nickel. can the work together for the same track?**
A: Yes they are interchangeable.. This is a wonderful set .. We use it for our train store as well as our train club..

**Q: Can you use 2 controler to control each locomotive separately? What aditional controller can i get for it to control the second train?**
A: It's  dcc set it has  one controller for  both  trains  and you can add trains  and use the same controller 
As long as  it's dcc and Beckman
