Thanks for the info. I do have a power pak from a christmas set bought a few years back. will try that.

I bought the Echo Valley Express train set last year and just recently bought the - Your first railroad track pack.  The video that comes with it did not
show how to wire the switches. Would like to know the best or easiest way to wire them.

Thanks!

Being relatively new to model rr, was wondering what the difference in the DCC Sound Value train sets and
DCC Onboard  train sets?
