How do you get power to this figure of 8? Where does the 10in power track go?

You can flip over the any piece of track and attach the wires to the inner and middle rails. You sort of bend up a clip, then insert the bare end of a wire, and press the clip back down. Put a piece of tape on it to keep it in place. It is not that hard to do. Good luck.

I had to look up the power point that I use in the owner's manual & it is 30A. Sorry I couldn't help.

i can"t remember but i would save your money and find something it is not worth the money they are asking for it it does not keep power and they say you can pedel it but it is like sitting on a horse because the pedels are so far back

The company says 8 is the max for the power supply that comes with the kit. I have 9 on one of them and it works ok. I'm pretty sure if you go to the manufacturer website you can get a bigger power supply that will power more than 8. They are nice lights for the money.

An RV or marine supply shop will sell the track by the foot. It's called "C-channel", it's made of aluminum and attaches with screws or rivets. You need 8 feet.

Hi Karen, The track is a black plastic base with brass-colored metal rails to conduct the electricity around the entire track layout. Ed

10 foot tracks or a splice connection to add length to the one it comes with.

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

I've been powering it through an AC adapter. It doesn't look like there is space inside to put a battery in. However you can always grab one of these:Battery Holder for (8) AA with Standard Snap Connector : BH383 (1)and attach a regular input cable. You will get 12V out, exactly what this little baby needs.

not a problem. take the ends of your power cord and attach them to a power point plug. KEEP TRACK OF + & -!

I agree with Paul depending on how much reserve battery power you have will dictate how long you can pull 800W. For better service I advise to use bigger wire to connect to battery and shortes length possible, 4 awg or 2 awg if need to be longer wire with ring termals. Unless you have a big battery bank reserve best to keep plenty of 12V power to batteries. There is a formula to calculate the load online

The previous answer is correct - about converting the voltage. The small plugs go into wall socket & the large transformer goes into those small plugs.My problem is that the whole set is so heavy. It is too much weight. MLHarrison

I measured it to be 21 inches. I don't know where the 8ft came from. Must be a different transformer.

I measured it to be 10" across X 8" top to bottom. Don't know how those figures were gotten.

I can tell you its not over 4. No way is it 8. Nit mine anyway. Hope this helps.

There is a black, rectangular foot actuated lever right in the middle of the power head on the back side that raised and lowers the power head. A bit hard to see, but the position of the head is displayed in a window in the same area.

The amount of power to get train to move depends on the length of track you have, how far from the power connection to the track the train is located, the type of motor in the train and how clean your track is. On a long track or about every 8 foot you need a power connection to the track for dependable operation. Clean even new track with a damp cotton ball or cloth with alcohole on it and wipe locomotive wheels also to assure good electrical pickup. Also if you are running more than locomotive it will take more power to get things going. If you have done all these things listed above it will take 30 to 35% on most low to mid priced trains to move at study slow pace.
