Can more than one locomotive be run by the remote control? Essentially, is the remote control connected to a transformer on the track, or directly to the locomotive thereby only controlling one engine?

Good Morning, Only one locomotive can be run by the remote as supplied with the set. The remote is operated by 3 AAA batteries and is not directly connected to the track. The wall pack is connected to the track and the remote communicates to the locomotive. Thanks Len B E Discount Trains

It has a transformer, but I would not waste you time on this, the cars don't stay on the track. So you have to stop every 2 minutes to put them back. We got tired of picking them up.

Has a transformer that plugs into wall current and runs through track at lower voltage. Harmless current because current is reduced. I've had a Lionel train sonce 5 years old. 52 years ago.

It can run up to 9 DCC-equipped locomotives at a time, plus one non-DCC. Each and every one can have speed independently controlled.

Yes, you can control it with the remote or directly on the fan itself. Loves this fan! Very quiet and powerful!

Locomotive takes 4 AA, remote, I don't remember(this unit was gifted to my grandson). I can find out though.

The 9v trains run on electricity where as the city train runs on battery. I have not seen to many 9v trains around and when I do there more expensive. I chose the city train for my three year old son, the remote is easy to operate, and it's easier to find parts and accessories. Hope this helps.

I an running ON30 scale, that is O scale train on HO rail. The E-Z command is sufficient to run four locomotives. So, there is no problem running HO trains. I imagine you may need a larger transformer to run O scale if you have a number of trains.

The box says it can be used on N, HO, and ON30. I use it on ON30 and it works on DCC locomotives but you can run 1 analog (DC) locomotive at a time.

I called Fisher Price and the first rep said she did not know. i had to call a second 800# and the rep said the train is stand alone, other engines do not work on the track. What a bummer!! My son won't be too happy. i think the "take along" sets have other engines you can add . Wish i knew before i bought this.

There's a chuffing sound that sounds when the train moves, you can turn this off via a switch in the drivers cab. There is also a steam noise that sounds constantly when the train is stationary. This cannot be turned off unless you unplug the track. The other sounds only work when buttons on the remote are pressed.

I have the Thomas set and the Hershey set (standard CW-80 transformer). I read the Thomas manual which states they do work together. I tested it yesterday and the kids played with Thomas for a while. It worked fine, but I can't speak to longer term effects. I just turned the transformer to 100% and then the kids used the remote to control Thomas. As you turn down the transformer, Thomas goes proportionally slower. We had to use the remote to make the Thomas noises.

My grandson has several battery operated Thomas Train Engines including a remote control Thomas and they all work on this track set.

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.

This set comes with a wired in remote dial which controls the speed of the train. It's a wonderful set. It also blows steam out of smokestack. There is also a railroad crossing that raises and lowers as the train goes through that can be purchased separately. I purchased this train set to go around the Christmas tree and my boy still plays with it.

Just one controller, for forward and reverse. I like the little train, but the connections that link the train sections together is very cheap, I am considering returning.

This train is battery powered, the switch is the smoke stack. It rotates once for engine power, two clicks to make it smoke as well. It uses 3 in 1 oil to produce smoke. Hope this helps!
