I purchased the Athern power pack to run an old Tyco HO scale figure 8 over / under set I got in the 1970's. The old power pack was a Tyco 899 t hobby transformer. We got a new engine and new connector track. We were very pleased with the power pack and worked for hours without heating up too much. The engine just has a headlight, no bells or whistles . The new engine is a Walthers Trainline Santa Fe GP9m locomotive. Worked great. Hope this helps.

Hi Brandon,I would assume- yes, I know what that can mean- that you can run a dcc-compatible locomotive with the Athearn TrainPak. I've run HO scale dcc-ready locos wth an AutoPulse Twin Momentum 5 for several years, while the TrainPak now powers my N scale coffee table layout. Sorry I couldn't be more definitive, but I'd say that it should work for you.

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

I recently purchased an Athearn Trainpak Power Pack for our HO Scale train system. It works very well and we are well satisfied with the purchase.

I used it with HO scale. Although I had both O and G scale trains at the time. I only used it with my HO layout. Jerry

Yes you can. The set comes with 2 straight pieces of track (one is where the power supply attaches) and 8 curved sections. You can easily add additional "Lionel Fast Track" track sections (straight or curved) and train cars to the set. The remote Thomas engine is a surprisingly strong puller, and can easily handle an additional 3 - 6 cars (often advertised as Thomas O gauge expansion packs). Enjoy!

I don't run G scale and am not at all familiar with the power needed to operate it. I model HO and N (later on)The 1300 operated both those well but I have some 2.5 grade runs and had to move up to the Tech7. As I add rail I willn have to move up again.I would not recommend it for G scale based on what I have experianced.

It has a DC preset on it that will allow the control of ONE DC loco. I advise converting your existing locos to DCC so you can have more fun.

ON30 is the same guage as HO, only the scale of the trains themselves are different, being in O Scale. This will work fine with the ON30 trains

Gail. I don't own one of these but I am pretty sure you WILL NOT be able to run two trains at the same time - at least with independent throttle control. If running two trains on different tracks, you would be looking at getting either the MTH Z4000 or the MRC Pure Dual Power, both of which have connections for two tracks. These are expensive and designed mainly for larger layouts so to simply save some money, you might be better off just buying two of the MTH Z1000 if you have a smaller layout.

Yes, the Boy Scout train is designed to run on O-27 & O gauge track. The set comes with O gauge FasTrack.

If the train is Trackmaster, then yes it will fit. My grandson and I LOVE these flexi tracks. It makes it much easier to finish almost any track design.

2 DC locos in the same direction- it may be a little short on power depending on the draw of your loco. I've only ran 2 on a small 3x3 round layout.

Yes it should work fine just be sure to run multiple leads to the track in multiple locations.

Not sure, purchased this for my O-gauge Lionel layout. My suggestion is go to Google Search and ask the same question, you'l probably get a fewhundred responses. Good Luck....

It is for DCC only, the documentation included with the units states: "Developed to simplify the wiring of reverse loops on two rail layouts using NMRA Conformant Digital Command Control..." it also has an "Important Notice" "..the reverse Loop Module does not function for two-rail DC layouts powered by conventional 12v DC!"

I can't see why not. I use it with Bachmann HO train sets, it should work OK.

Yes, the battery operated engines can run of the Wooden Train Track 100 piece set. As with any track, you may fine some bumps along the way and need to help the engines along--but adjusting the track or swapping out pieces usually fixes it.

Yes, works fine but you will still need the remote. You do not need to use the special wall wart transformer and special piece of track it plugs into. I have a CW-80 that was included with another set, you simply turn it up half way or so (not sure if it matters) and then use the remote to control the train speed, direction and sounds. This way you can use other trains on your layout. It also refers to this type of setup in the manual.
