this can be due to two main causes,

dirt on the wheels

dirt on the track

if it works and stops in the same place all the time just get either a track rubber or a peice of emery paper and wipe over the track a few times, or you can clean the wheels with emery paper

No, you must have the same gauge track as your train is made in.

That paint that they use for painting garage floors stick to most surfaces it might work . I think they call it rock.

Your best bet is to use Floquil or Scalecoat model paint named "cement". Make sure the paint is compatible with the plastic!

Floquil and Scalecoat make the G.N. green.

The Big Sky Blue paint scheme was blue, black, and white, so I'm not sure what color you are asking about.

They are different sizes.

That means the engine has a plug to plug into a dcc controller.

Without seeing a particular set it is difficult to say just what cars are in a set. For example if it is a freight set it might have box cars, flat cars, hopper cars, tank cars, bulkhead flat cars, spine cars or a caboose, and of course a locomotive to pull it all with.

Yes you can but if you do they will both run together on the same power supply. You can get DCC trains which run speratly.

First start by disconnecting the drive motor to see if it runs - if it does, then you will need to go through the gears (and if steam, the drive rods) and working forward from the motor until it stalls again. This is a common problem with the lower priced engines and usually it is in the gear box.

The fastest train is the well-known magnet train.

There are a few sites that show examples of model train layouts. Two of these sites include YouTube and LayoutVision. These sights show examples and ideas from small to large layouts, loops, and track plans.

It works like a dimmer switch. As you turn the knob or move the lever it changes the voltage that is supplied to the track. As the voltage increases, the motor in the model train will run faster and thus the train will move faster.

A scale model is a extact replica of something - usually smaller than the original item. Example: A 1/10 scale model car is 10 times smaller than the original car.
