Okay that worked,  . Thank you for all your help! 

    Today I got another track pack from bachmann, I having electrical difficulties. I don't know why but when my engine goes on certain rails it starts to act jumpy, it will go fast then almost stop then go again. I have been keeping it clean and nice, I have even tried switching tracks around, nothing works. Could someone maybe help?

Thank you!!!!

How can you hook up your switched to the DCC system?

Thank you! 

What is the best radius track for the Alco 2-6-0?

That sounds good to!!:-) thanks for the idea!!:-D

I think it was our cat but..

Well I know bachmann has has all the goods for the tender and the chassis but it was the moter the smoke unit was bent and waires were torn in half. I still have it under my bed.  And yes it is from bachmann. I just think it might be Easier to just buy another one of the same locomotive. And not every thing is destroyed, the welees are okay still and the body is very fine, it still looks new I guess I could see if they have the parts for it though, but like I said even the DCC decoder was bent. So I don't know, I will see if they have the parts but.........

Ohhhhhhhhhhh and Doneldon thank you for your tip, it's just the engine I want is very cool it's the 0-6-0 #4443 union pacific, I thought it would be a perfect engine to begin with, and I got last summer but when I put it down stairs in a case and what happend was we were going fore willing and I came back and it was on the ground broken in I believe 10- 20 peaces, I was devistared my first engine distoyed, one train wreck I will never forget. I really want to get it again but.....................  I don't know, you know???

And you do know I didn't mean it like that, he is very smart I guess what I ment to say is he is not to good with trains and I have to admit I am very stupid for saying that. Sorry dad.....

Well you see I am 14 and just a beginner but this hobby interest me a lot. I grue up with trains such as Thomas's and my grandpa ran the western union rail way and he was really good at it for his sake, but as you can see the reason why I asked about a DCC system is because I want to see if it would work really good. And as for my dad, I have a nitro 3.3 T-maxx and he is really good with it, but once he thinks he is good at it he thinks he is good at every thing. So there you have it.

Well thank you all for your help (seriously) it really did help. I love herring other people's opinions It makes me feel good to know that a lot of people have good plans and I am not alone in this. Thank you for all of your help, I am having fun so far.

Hey I am just a beginner.......cut me some slack.....

 Out of all the steam engins that are DCC witch one is the best??
