yea the super glue worked but i usually jus leave that train on the transfer track for my models because it doesn't like to "grab" the chainlift and i like to use 2 chainlifts a lot and it can be a real pain when your trying to run 2 trains at once

i used 4 electric moters attached to a lauge gear that

turns a small one, wich is attached to a Large gear wich turns a medum one thats

hoked to a pully that has string that has 6 pieces of chain, so its like a real one, but my

mom took my Xcelerator one down, <_<.
But i think i might

make a nother one later

the the 4 moters are attached to a poer strip, and i

turn that on and off, lol. but i also have a 2 way moter i use to bring the launch back,

and when i do that the 4 moters have no grip going back, so it works nicely.
