A Trip Down Memory Lane

[132 Rookie]

I've decided to make some use of my unexpected free time by digging out my late uncle's collection of 70 cars, dating from 1971 to 2001.

There's quite a bit of track, so I should be able to set up a decent circuit.

I notice that there are two of the blue power packs in amongst the accessories.

Is one just a spare, or should I be using both packs for larger circuits?

Apologies in advance for (probably) the first of several Newbie questions!

Using a power pack per lane is usually a good idea as some tracks' circuits will cause one of the cars to get apower surge if the other car leaves the track.

It will also help on a large circuit as the power pack only has to do half the work.

How you go about doing this depends on what kind of track you have.

Make sure your track is nice and clean before you start:
