Lionel Pennsylvania Flier O Scale Train Set With Fastrack Inner Loop
David writes:
“I purchased the Lionel Pennsylvania Flyer O Scale train set that comes with a DC wall-pack power supply. I have no trouble operating the set. I then purchased the FasTrack Inner Loop add-on and incorporated it into the oval layout from the original Lionel Flyer and the train won’t run. Do I need to purchase an AC transformer to be able to use the Inner Loop add-on?”

I expect you have a poor connection between your inner and outer loops. Ensure your track pieces are very tight together.
You probably have a short in one of the pieces of track. The switches should have a very short piece of straight track with them they have a jumper wire that can be removed check that.
Do you mean the train won’t run on either loop now, or just the inside loop ?
Does it still run when you disconnect the inner loop ?
The most likely problem is a loose wire or a bad contact somewhere.
