Bought w/ Bachmann graduated trestle set for the kids, but the train only gets over the 2nd trestle at high speed. Anyone else have this issue?

I have no problem, what you bought I't s single layer track. A trestle gets elevated yes?

A friend of mine and I have this train. He actually had it first, and I bought it after because I like it so much. I am in the same situation as you. He says he buys extra track from a reseller, and will be sending me his information today. I will post the answer shortly.

Lol! Great question. Our's did the same. I tried super glue but it didn't last real long. Check with a Lionel distributer maybe. I've seen other little Lionel sets. Maybe they sell separate engines?

Amazing. I feel that the wheels are what squeek. I proved that by grabbing the wheels and sliding them against their typical path. I can tell that the path is not straight back and fourth on the tracks too. I suspect that the loosening of the handles will 'free up' the tension so they run smoothly. It drives me bonkers.

They sell a track adapter here on amazon.com: "Life-Like Trains Power-Link HO Scale Track - Adapter, Steel." So you can connect your Bachmann EZ tracks to this set.

I don't think so Ben, as the bridge is not too tall.the Thomas carts just barely goes under it.so it the Chuggington train is taller it will definitely won't go.

Kidkraft made the train. That is were my instructions came from. I would try that company.

having rails go underneath it, thomas trains barely fit through.. now if you dont have the rail go under, but just try to fit a chuggington train just by itself... maybe? prolly still not...? not sure--

Even though this little engine is rather slow, it has been geared to pull a large load (for it's size). It has not problem pulling up to 10 train cars on a flat track, or even up and over an overpass (using the assending / descending track). My grandkids and I actually connected four assending tracks is series to go from the floor up and onto a couch. The train (by itself) had no problems.

Take the trains completely off the track. Next, make sure each track is securely attached to the other track. It must snap and there can be no spaces. Finally carefully place the trains on the tracks. Line them up perfectly. That should solve the problem

Maybe I don't see the question, because it sounds like there is an elevation issue - the corkbed mounted track is higher than the plastic mounting, so not only is there end/end mismatch, but also there is height mismatch. The transformer wires can be attached to the underside of any track rail section, but if there are any switch tracks, when you divert the train to the other one you often lose all power and the train comes to a halt. Best to join a local model rr club so those experts can help solve all compatibility, and layout configuration problems.

What Rebecca said. I didn't have any trouble with mine, though, but there should be 2 red levers that allow the cars to shoot into the rest of the track. Now, if the batteries are not good, then it won't supply enough power to launch the cars all the way around.

I think can add as much track as you want to buy. My grandson's added about double what it originally came with. They love their Bachmann Train.

The wheels fit those tracks and the magnets are on the correct ends. The engine and caboose are much smaller than Thomas ones so would look odd in a train of those cars, and the letters are taller than typical Thomas cars so may not fit under bridges and tunnels.

My problem with the same train is a little different. It carries all plastic weight inside the carts, but it will not run more than two or three rounds before it derails and rests on its side. I have not t ride to put any other weights other than plastic fruits . My grand son loves it, but the train is made very cheap.

You need to get the "g" scale straight and curved track pieces. Make sure its the G scale though.

I agree with Tutu. Messing with the structural design would likely be not a good approach to use and the tracks are already wide. I hope this helps.
