the only problem i have with atlas train set track (HO) is that my set came with a bunch of loose rail joiners and the train would lose power at some parts of the oval either slowing it down or stopping it completely! is this just a factory fault or just bad luck? atlas what should i do?
@wcs1mary Bad luck, I think. You can tighten them up a bit if you crimp them with a pair of pliers. The power loss could be from dirty track. Wiping it down with a cloth or one of those magic erasers should fix that.
I recently forwarded this video to a few OnLine friends.
They (mostly Guys and a FEW Gals), the mojority live in Thailand. This form of hobby is unknown to them. This video has been quite good to help them understand the hobby step by step.
Thanks again for posting!
And, I hope you post more 'Demonstrator - like' videos like this one. The English speaking guy seemed quite simple for my friends to understand. No one complained. ^_^
Just one 'little thing': Personally, I bring the train to a full stop before reversing direction. Less wear on the motor and less of a chance of a derailment.
Also, it's not wise to reverse direction with a real train...while it is moving. ;-)

Yes. It has an 8-pin plug for DCC so you can add your own decoder easily.
