Is the actual train metal or plastic?

The train and cars are plastic. -Nicholas Smith Trains

Why are the trains so hard to connect & stay connected? Why won’t they just sit on the track? Takes 20 minutes to get tires lined up. Help.

There is a tool for sitting the coupler heights/alignment. If the couplers aren't at the same height they will disconnect when going around the track. You also need to make sure they go together and don't create a "bump" at the joint. The sit the trains on the tracks takes practice. I would find a hobby/train store and go in there and talk to someone.

what is the minamum width plywood is needed for this layout?

The minimum size ply-board needed for this train layout is 4'x5" L3

How do you get light to turn on?
