Not intending to be a troll , but is this what I can expect from Bachmann products?  The trains I ran in the 70's (just a small set-up) were Bachmann.

After 40 years without trains I have bought a NEW starter train set (Super Chief).  Unfortunately, I can't get it to run.  Should the the red indicator light on power pack come on when plugged in? ... or only after track is hooked up to power pack. Mine has yet to light up.
