The Workings Of Model Train Track
Model train track consists of two metal rails separated by plastic tie sections. Each rail carries one side of the electrical circuit. To work properly, the two rails should not contact each other and no metal object should contact both rails together. This would cause a short circuit, which could damage your model train power pack if it happened too often.
With this in mind, assemble your model train track and connect the transformer… and you’ll be ready to start operating your model train set. It is as easy as plugging in the transformer, carefully placing the locomotive on the train track, turning up the throttle…and enjoying!
