im having a bit of trouble with my bachman OO/HO track. Whenever i plug it it, it barely moves, and only on the track directly attached to the power source. if i try to run it onto the other peices of track, it just stops. im just wondering if this is a common issue and if it can be solved
Hey LoganAnimates_Official, It's all about having good electrical continuity. That said, I think track connectivity issues in general are pretty common. Based on the info, it sounds like a track connectivity issue. Especially because the locomotive seems to run on the piece of track connected directly to the power source. If it were me, I'd be looking at the those track connection points between the pieces of track. Make sure the connections are clean and tight. The other thing I would do is make sure the track surfaces are clean. When our locomotives start running a a little rough, we run a very fine grained sandpapers (800 to 1000 grit) over the track just to get rid of anything that might interfere with a good connection between the track and the locomotive wheels. One of the reasons we went to Atlas Flex track was because the soldered joints pretty much guarantee a solid connection between pieces of track. I know it's frustrating, but stick with it and good luck! If anyone else has any suggestions, please join in the conversation!
Hi@@adamreutgen4575, yes, the plan is to pick those two models up, add them to the collection, and do a review and run. We have our eye on the N scale Toby too, but haven't purchased yet. Thanks for watching!
Rusty looks a little smaller than Peter Sam.
Yes very weird I mean you can make one of your own

Can you remove the face?
Can’t say for sure. We haven’t tried to do it ourselves. Thanks for watching!
@@Northeasttrainyard when Bachmann releases Duncan and sir Handel will you post a video of them too?

Do they run on HO scale track or N scale?
@@instasingingvids3529 Peter Sam and Rusty are running on N scale track.
