Hello, my first contact. While waiting on hold to speak with a technician, I'll try to explain my question. After ditching all my Lionel O gauge trains and tracks, I've made the move to HO in Bachmann E Z Track. With starter set 00501, I have two trains running on a fairly simple layout which I hope to expand. I'm told by hobby shop that I will most likely need to run a bus line like I had with the O gauge layout. I used a voltmeter to detect weak stretches on the Lionel track and eventually all areas revealed about 18 volts on the layout. Mission accomplished. So now, in preparation for doing similar on the Bachmann E Z Track, I checked the simple oval with the voltmeter and I only detect about 1 volt of power. Is this normal? The trains seem to run fine, and I am using the power supply and controller that came with the set which I understand to be a 1 amp power supply. I realize I will probably need a 5 amp booster as my layout expands, but I don't understand why I only detect 1 volt of power on the track as it is now. Any suggestions? Thanks.
