Hello everyone!
Like many people, I found myself digging out the old train set this past winter since we were all cooped up.
Back in 1994, my wife got me a pretty nice locomotive ands some rolling Stock from a LHS called The Train Station in Columbus, OH. She also got a lot of Bachman EZ-Track pieces and a lot of Atlas flex track. A friend gave me another locomotive sometime soon after that. We played with it most Christmases until the kids got older. It's been sitting in a plastic tub for probably 15 years or longer.
So I built a 4'x8' table and did a double lap layout to test everything. I got both locomotives to run pretty well, after taking them apart and giving them a good cleaning. about half the rolling stock worked, which was plenty to test everything. I'll see if I can post a video of the test setup.
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to post their knowledge and wisdom!
