Track and Power

Although MTH Electric Trains manufactures its own track and

transformers, you can run your locomotive on any 0-27 or wider-radius

O gauge track wired to draw power from any of the standard

compatible AC transformers listed in the chart on page 19.  Be sure

your track is in good condition—clean and securely connected—to keep

the locomotive running and to prevent derailments.  If you intend to

utilize the RealTrax® track sections included in the set, see the

directions below.

Setting Up the RealTrax® Circle

Unlike other O Gauge track systems, each RealTrax® track section

features a realistic built-in

roadbed base, solid

nickel-silver track rails and

realistic railroad ties, all

designed to give the owner

an authentic looking track

system.  In addition, each

RealTrax® track section

employs the use of

quick-connect connectors

instead of track pins or

railjoiners to assemble the

track sections to one

another.  The quick

connectors and built-in base allow RealTrax® track sections to be setup

anywhere, including some carpeted

surfaces without the need for track

nails or the worry of carpet stains.

You can set up literally hundreds of

different track designs utilizing

RealTrax® components.  We’ve

included just a few later in this

manual for your reference.  Each
