Hi everyone. I'm a total newbie when it comes to model trains and was hoping for some advice.

Like the title says, I've got a Lionel R30 set, but when I put the engine on my track, nothing happens.

I've got FastTrack and a terminal section. I'm trying to use an MTH Z-1000 transformer. Is it even compatible with FastTrack? I have to reconnect the cable to the track. It keeps coming out of the terminal...

Do any of the lights come on?  If you put another locomotive or lighted car (caboose; passenger car) on the track, do the lights come on?  If not, your transformer isn't delivering power/connected.

 

Make sure the subway is on the track (easy to have a wheelset off the track), make sure the transformer is working.  If that's all OK, something is wrong with the subway set.  If you bought it from a dealer, go back there for resolution.  If not, see if you can find a local hobbyist who can help, or if all else fails, return to seller or dealer for refund or replacement.  Good luck.
