O Gauge Polar Express Question
By: slyautosports Date: October 11, 2017, 5:54 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I have an O gauge Polar Express set, an older one, that has the
big transformer where you control the train from.
I just purchased a new REMOTE control/bluetooth Polar Express
engine and tender, model 6-84328-E.
My question is what do I need to take advantage of all the
functions this newer engine has? I.E. power supply, transformer,
special power track etc...?
Thank you in advance

You need track (usually FasTrack) and the terminal track.
The DC power supply for the layout is needed also.

You have everything you need with the first set. Use the
transformer that came with the first set just set it at the max
speed you want to run the locomotive at and control it with the
remote or Bluetooth app. If you want to expand buy more track
and switches but you need nothing else unless you want more.

Thank you for the info...
I have been reading up on a lot of stuff.
So far I have the 6-84328-E LionChief Polar Express Engine.
I have a PowerMax Plus transformer but it does not have the
accessory connectors.
I'm contemplating getting a GW-180 and/or a CW-80.
Also, I would like to upgrade the smoker but cannot decide on
the best route for that.
Also the green marker lights on the front of the engine do not
seem to light up like the older versions.
Is the headlight a LED?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thank you
