I kinda thought so but its better to ask than to do it wrong ...thanks so much, as soon as little one is snoozing , break in will begin

its here its here yaaah ...ok I have one question... after reading the manual and all enclosed lit. there seems to be two little plugs (dummy plugs) and I must be a dummy cause I did not see anything about them nor was there anything in the dvd so are they not to be used out of the box...is the set plug n play as it is ...also is the Pere Marquette also plug n play out of the box because it came today too and I want to start the break-in

I thought you meant something like this http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dsnow%2Bplow%2Btrain%26ei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3Dyfp-t-701%26fr2%3Dtab-web&w=1024&h=683&imgurl=www.railroadforums.com%2Fphotos%2Fdata%2F514%2FSnow_Plow_CP_Rail.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.railroadforums.com%2Fphotos%2Fshowphoto.php%3Fphoto%3D40135&size=157k&name=Snow+Plow+CP+Rai...&p=snow+plow+train&oid=e7a78eee73399400&fr2=tab-web&no=5&tt=569&sigr=11u2h735b&sigi=11smn6mq9&sigb=130o2biai

the guy at the hobby shop said he makes his own snow with sifted baking power or flour and just vacuums it up when he's done with it

cool thanks

Oh by the way thanks for the reply's

some one on here linked me to the sale at model train stuff a week ago or so but I got one from ebay for $131.something shipped and that auction is the same thing...I ask in a thread a few days ago if the guy that had the engine that threw a screw... if it was from a 2-8-0 consolidated but he never answered but anyway it should be here any day as it has been in the mail for 8-9 days now coming from Utah

how old is this set or is it a recent release...  http://cgi.ebay.com/Bachmann-Spectrum-Explorer-New-York-Central-Train-Set_W0QQitemZ330381705815QQcmdZViewItemQQptZModel_RR_Trains?hash=item4cec48c257

Dear PJF,
There is a new EZ Track Layout book; you can get it from us or Carstens Publications.
Have fun!

is the track layout book you speak of this Bachmann book http://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=67

I just wish the train set would show up as we are leaving this weekend ... it was suppose to ship last Monday and according to the tracking number the post office has not received it yet however the Pere Marquette did ship today , maybe they will both be here before we leave

Hey I want some coal in my stocking

groovy thanks man

its new in the box so I guess its standard line and I did not think about two transformers ...obviously a newb , could you recommend a decent second transformer and again thanks in advance... would this work http://cgi.ebay.com/BACHMANN-SPECTRUM-HO-NICKEL-OVAL-TRACK-TRANSFORMER_W0QQitemZ130347210351QQcmdZViewItemQQptZModel_RR_Trains?hash=item1e594c966f

I have the explorer new york express coming this week and can't seem to find out anything about the transformer ...does anybody know the specs as in will it run the oval the set comes with and the smaller oval that comes with other sets without the tracks being connected obviously with feeders... the oval that comes with the set is 63x45 and the other oval is 38x56 thanks for the info
