Retro - Thank you for your order and the kind words. As I explained, you will find all the information you will ever need to set up a layout on this Forum. Including the wiring diagrams we discussed. If it is something about O Gauge, this group knows ALL by combining our knowledge.
The Polar Express 10th Anniversary Set Promo will be running until we get down to 100 sets in stock. Price is currently $295.00 SHIPPED. A lot of serious O Gauge folks have bought this set for their kids, grandkids, nephews, etc. as a solid starter kit. Ready to Run. The $295.00 delivered price will not last long.
Thank you for the kind post. I am sorry the set you got had a factory defect on the one car. As you saw, we stand behind our sales 100%.
Here is the link for others to look at this very popular Polar Express Set:

Thank you again and enjoy the set. It is great to see younger people like you getting into the hobby! It sounds like you and your dad had a great time with trains when you were a kid. These R-T-R sets are a great way to get a jump start getting into the Hobby!
