Hello,

We are new to model railroading, so please forgive my lack of proper terminology. We have a beginner Athearn HO set (that came with Bachmann tracks), and separately bought additional Bachmann tracks to make a figure-8. We connected the female connectors on the wire from the Bachman switch track to another connector (small black plastic piece, sorry - don't know what it's called) and then connected the forked ends on the connector wire to the DC screws on the Athearn transformer - nothing happens. If anyone can understand what I am asking, and can help, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks,

John
