It has an ac adapter to a spot on the track with the triggers for each lane. No batteries.

You still need to run a ground. This product just taps into an existing hot (positive +) fuse location on your fuse block. Your red positive hot wire will connect to this product.

You just gently pull up or push down on it and it slides up and down inside the track - your mechanism might be jammed up on something.

As it says, there will be 4 curved, 4 straight, 2 switches and 2 bumpers. That should allow either the creation of a small oval or the addition of enough track to build an oval within an oval and switch back and forth. If you do not have a power pack this track set will not work.

For HO trains, Nickel Silver track (don't buy the cheap stuff), Nickel Silver Power Terminals about every 10" and Power Extension Wire. By using those items, my train has now run flawlessly for over four years. I love it. If you go cheap, you will not enjoy. I used Bachman, but there are others out there.

I hooked it up to the extra headlight wire that was taped up. You do not need to run a big power cord from the battery. Just find a power wire in the area.

It does not have a port for accessories. You will need a separate controller for them. Just a cheap one will do. But do not run wires from a DC transformer and the DCC unit to the track at the same time, just use the DC unit for your accessories.

With this accessory you can power the track trough an end, the installation is much more clean than with the big plastic cover included with the track kit. http://www.amazon.com/Nuvo-TP156-Live-Power-White/dp/B002N3YASK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1404311255&sr=8-5&keywords=nuvo+track

You have the constant power wire on the car hooked to the power wire of radio. This is only for memory, hook this to the yellow memory write and run you power to a key on sourcE

It is better than powertap. Tried it on the track and got good data, but occasional drop outs occurred. Most likely because of interference from other riders.

I use only Lionel FasTrack. You can hook it up with wire or add banana connectors to the end of your wire from the track. Tom

There should be an electrical box that attaches to the tracks, that connects to the control box, the control box cord plugs into the wall. If that is missing, maybe a hobby-train shop would sell something like it? Hopefully you can get it working because it really is a cool train.

I'm not sure what you mean by "head." Do you mean where the power connection is made? Do you want to suspend it from the ceiling? Or do you want to make the track longer?

Hi Karen, The track is a black plastic base with brass-colored metal rails to conduct the electricity around the entire track layout. Ed

You get 16 ft of track you can make it shorter if you want to. You could add more fixtures as they snap on track and you can position them where you want them just not sure wires could handle the power needed.

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.

All you need to do is to attach a 12 gauge (red) wire from the gauge to your ignition switch or any other power source. Use the terminal on the ignition that is not activated during starting but is live at other times. The other terminal on the gauge goes to ground (black wire to your metal dashboard support). You can put a fuse in line near the ignition switch. There should have been instructions with the gauge - I bet there are explanations on-line... just Goggle Voltmeter hook up. Cheers
