Hy dear Friends I have Fleischmann N.This power pack is ok with my railroad? thanks for your time and interest

I believe it works with everything. But to make sure, research it on their website.

I purchased this for a small layout running O and N gauge engines w/cars. It works just fine. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry. I can't answer this question of smoke and light because I don't run this engine on the track. I'm dissatisfied with the design of the engine. It's not designed like most HO scale engines with the electrical contacts in the engine wheels. The electrical contacts for this engine are in the coal tender wheels. There is an electrical connection between the engine and the tender but it is intermittent so the engine stopped a lot. However, since the model looks good - instead of returning the engine to Amazon - I decided to build a "monument" to railroading on my layout. I put this engine on permanent display in the town square and that's where it will stay. I'm sorry. I can't answer this question of smoke and light because I don't run this engine on the track.

Who is the manufacturer of your equipment? The reason I ask is that the MTH Z 1000 is designed for AC engines. Marklin requires AC. The majority of other HO manufacturers use DC for their locomotives. By the way, I have layouts in Z, HO (AC and DC), Lionel O and Marklin 1 gauge. I never did decide on which gauge I liked the best! :) Tom

Chief, The FloJet comes with the male and female connectors. You cannot connect it incorrectly. I ran a two wire line from my battery bay being careful to observe the correct polarity (+ to + and -to -) to my utility bay and connected the pigtail together with crimp connectors. If you're not familiar with DC electricity find someone who is. Larry

Bachmann says it does..."digital control of multiple locomotives in N, HO, and On30 scale plug-and-play compatibility with all DC and DCC systems". I only used it for HO.

I have used the controller one time on dc. It works OK but is noisy. It will heat up the loco if it is left still for a while. Works fine with dcc in N scale.

Probably not without a converter. This is a CW-80 transformer. There is a "NOTE!" to not power the locomotive with DC transformer ~ it is designed for AC transformers only.

It will. I found it was a little low on DC power to fully power the train. It doesn't overload though.

I asked my som to test this for you. The wooden railway and battery operated trains fit. The smaller "Take n Play" do not. They are too small. I hope this helps!

I got this pack today, it works nice with my XR260V, I think I have made a wise decision to purchase it.

I agree with Longtrain. I would double check Crucial's website and make sure that they say it will work. Safer to double check in my opinion...

Mickey--I own a Shark Model V1900 (uses XB1918 Pack) and a Model V1950 (uses XB1945 Pack). Both Shark packs are NiCd 7.2V @ 1.3Ah and use 6 cells (eack cell is 1.2V). I got tired of the original NiCd Packs losing their capacity and charge capability over just a few months of use, so I researched and found that the NiMh HQRP RBH Pack would fit into both vacs; it uses 4 cells (each cell is 1.8 V). The NiMh Pack is rated @ 3Ah, and gives much more runtime AND an appreciable power increase as evidenced by a higher motor pitch. It also is not prone to the "memory affect" that plagues NiCd batteries. I have been using the HQRP Packs for about 3 years and both are still going strong.

I use this power pack to run an On30 scale train on HO scale track. I am not sure if it will work for O scale track.

Yes you can, but the Power-Loc track options are somewhat limited. You could get a Power-Loc adapter track section that would connect to other roadbed tracks, like Bachmann's E-Z track for more options, or if you want more flexibility move up to Atlas snap-track fastened onto a sheet of plywood. And yes you can use more cars and locomotives, but be careful: this set uses the old-style horn-hook couplers. If you will be adding other Life-Like products or older Bachmann and Tyco stuff, this is fine. But other companies' newer stuff uses the more realistic knuckle couplers. You may want to replace the couplers on a few of the cars and locomotives, or make a few "transition" cars (horn-hook on one side, knuckle on the other.) For more than one locomotive, you would need to upgrade to DCC. The locomotive on this set does not come with DCC, and is tricky to upgrade, but many DCC systems allow you to run a single "regular" locomotive like that one, in addition to several DCC locomotives.

As said in my earlier answer, I am fundamentally disappointed with the operation of the engine. (The electrical contacts are in the coal car, instead of the engine, but the coal car is not heavy enough to hold the wheels on the rails, to make good contact.) But I like the way it LOOKS so I kept it as a stationary display item on my layout (like a statue). So I don't know and don't care whether it will make smoke. Sorry.

Earl, It is compatable as far as gage, however it snaps together with adjoing track rather using the copper/ brass connectors. It is also mounted on a track bed.I have HO Bachmann track and it connects much better than the old type. The rerailer that you asked about also is pre-wired (no soldering).Hope this answers your question.Bob

It comes with a 2 mobex to 8 pin and a 2 mobex to 6 pin as I recall. I don't recommend running off of mobex power but it certainly works. Try to use mobex from different rails.
