I have just brought a Ge U-25B Diesel locomotive and am trying to run it on a 40 meter outdoor track.
I connected a 1amp 12  to. 18 volt controller, nothing happens at all , being new to model trains I,m haveing trouble working out which is the problem train or the power supply.
The train is new. I put a multi meter across the track and the volts read the same from one side of the track to the other.
Appreciate some advice.

Newbie,just starting out and bought a Bachman train and want to run on large garden track.Can anyone tell me The name and where I can get a good reference book to help me.
