Personally I would love to see RSS feeds for this board. Hopefully they will add them or tell us what they are

Great answers everyone.

I am a kind of a nut for being as historically correct on information that I can be. However when all else fails... have fun !

When I was first getting train cars from my hobby dealer, I thought I had a great set of cars picked out. However the sales guy started telling me, those two cars are from different era's; those cars are from different parts of the country and would not have run together, etc/

Is there a book that tells which train cars ran, and where they ran?  I want to make sure I don't put multiple era's of cars in by mistake.

Thanks for the help

It is HO Scale

I checked the box and yes the wiring is all there. I just did not know what I was looking for. 

Thank you everyone for all the information.  I can't wait to get this all tested out !!

I will double check to make sure. I am working on an area in my house where I can work on this more, where the family cat will not jump up on the tracks. (Which is a whole different subject).

Worst case if no wires, I am sure I can run down to Radio Shack to get some.

Wish the instruction book sent with the kit had been a lot more detailed.

Thanks Robert. At least it gets me in some direction. I wish they would have included wires for them, but thats cheap to get.

You dont happen to know a good website with more information on how to work with these?

Thanks

I recently got the train kit set "Your First Railroad Track Pack"

Inside the instruction book was very vague. However there a number of small switches that I do not understand their function, or how to wire them up.

These switches have 2 prongs at each end and 3 prongs to one side, with a slide switch on top.

If someone could tell me what these do and if possible tell me how to wire them up, that would be fanstastic.

Thanks
Brian
