Will this set work?** A: If the set is HO scale, then yes. This track set is universal to any HO locomotive or rolling stock. No power supply is included or the track to connect the power. **Q: What shape is this when its all done?** A: First,I have used bachmann ez-track for all my layouts which include the purchase of two Greatest Hobby Packs in the past. I also use DCC power with a booster for most and have never had any problem.Depending on what you have to start with, this is a fine starter set to make a nice layout using the instructions which come with the pack.If you have more track its only limited to your imagination, amount of track, and your ability and experience.The Pack comes with both straight(9) and curved track(20),a terminal rerailer(1),regular rerailer(1).Hayes bumbers (2),and left and right electric turnouts(2) each.The turnouts DO use DC power so if you run DC, the accessory terminals on your power supply can be used for them. It DOES NOT come with any type of power supply so be aware! This particular pack is STEEL track which i like for its lower electical resistance, but Nickel alloy is also available for less rust corrosion( I haven't really experienced this as long as the track is cleaned once in a while.) Hope this helps. **Q: I'm not buying a cheap set I bought my wife a good locomotive, does this come with power controller. I fly Rc Heli know nothing about trains.** A: The set mentioned only contains track for your layout. No power controller. You will need to purchase one if you do not have one already. **Q: I just purchased this track and set was easy. Whenever my train runs off the outer loop and onto the single track it shorts out. Any thoughts?** A: I would guess that the polarity is not maintained. If you have two spots where the power is supplied from the transformer, disconnect one. Also possible that you have a teardrop-shaped loop, which will not work unless the power to it is isolated on a separate feed ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on 7 December 2015* Good deal ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***Z on 7 January 2025* Excelente calidad del producto y empacado.
