## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the set O gauge or is it HO - both terms are used to describe the set?**
A: HO, had to return the set since the engine stopped working.

**Q: Is there any issues I should know about?**
A: It only works on a really perfectly smooth surface, like a table.
We tried on a ceramic floor, but that was too much for the rails to stay well connected to each other enough for the current to stay connected.
The rails don't connect STRONGLY and securely together, so the slightest thing and they get disconnected.
But on a table, it worked.

**Q: Is it stable enough that it will stay on the tracks, if in a mobile setting?**
A: If the setting itself isn't perfectly stable, the problem is the tracks won't stay connected together. They don't snap SECURELY together well. Very easy to get disconnected. The train will stay on the tracks, but the track pieces themselves don't stay connected together that well.

**Q: Can the cars hold a cup or glass?**
A: No
