I recently purchased the Bachmann YARD BOSS set in N scale. My intention is to run it in a freight yard within a set of 4 parallel tracks which are connected together along the way but an oval is not part of the plan.
I have the track in place and the power connected and I can get the locomotive to start off at a pretty good pace but when it gets about 8 feet down the main line it just stops on its own.
I haven't tried it on an oval arrangement but I imagine it would do well there.
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? The power seems to go only so far. Some of the curved track that came with the set are wired underneath and labeled A and A but none of the straight track is wired underneath.
thanks
