Thank You!! That is exactly what I thought. I sold one on ebay and the guy wanted to argue with me that the mail truck was an On3 and I told him no way not even close.

This patictular model is not even close to ON30 or O scale but marked on the box by Bachmamnn On3. It looks exactly like HO scale 1:87

I had bought a bachmann Spectrum HO scale US Mail Rail Truck DCC Ready and on the side of the box is Marked On3, but to compare it when sitting beside an HO scale it looks exactly the same, so what is On3?

Yes it does have a seperate power pack. It is powered by the car barn that came with the set. If I could disconnect it from the barn and power it from the main power pack on the layout I would but not sure how to do it.

Thank you both Simon and Jim.

I bought the set maybe 5 yrs ago now. It was weak from the begining. I used it maybe 5 days during the Holidays 5 yrs ago then put it back in it's original box. It had been packed and sealed all this time till today when I took it back out to add it to a small layout I made 4x8. Sometimes the trolly seems to stick and not run smoothly and have to nudge them to get it to complete the run. I tried sevral trollys on the track then tested the trollys on my main track... they run perfect on the main track but run sluggish on the auto reversing track.

I did but it is very weak. It alwasys has been weak on that set.

I have the village street car set and the power is very weak. Is there anything I can do?
