I have only run the engine and tender so far. I am running it on my existing layout with A/F tubular track and the Locomotive keeps loosing power and cycling into neutral.
I am still playing around with it to see what is going on, it seems if I just push down on the locomotive, it picks up power again and takes off.
That power supply is a little lame, the catalog pics led me to believe the set was going to include something like a CW-40.
As far as the set goes I like it a lot, for an entry level RTR set with remote control, I think they have a good product.
