I finally opened up the box. Had it since this past Saturday. But I am glad of all the information that people found out already. Out of the box the remote would not work. From previous information from here I used a screwdriver to bend the contacts out a bit and that is all it took and the remote was ready to go. Placed the engine on the track hooking it up to a train I already had on the track. Turned on the transformer and the sound came on right away. The engine moved forward pulling a train of 26 cars and a bobber caboose. The cars were basically 6464 size. All and all the engine ran good. Except for the jack rabbit stops and starts. I think overall Menards did a pretty good job so far............Paul 2
