I now have TWO sets of the Lionel Train Glacier Route that I can't get to work. It is an O track (Fastrack?)
My daughter got one for Christmas last year. It worked haltingly, then quit working altogether. It sat all year, and she got it out this Christmas and it still didn't work. I found another on the internet and bought it, thinking it would work... and we could figure out which piece of the original one didn't work... plus she would have double the track, cars, and now spare parts.
We hooked this one up (by itself to make sure it would run) and it doesn't work AT ALL! I've made sure all the connections at each section of track are snug, I have tried switching the terminals (orange and black) at the control module as well as on the track. We get a green light on control module...
and absolutely NOTHING happens! There are two switches on the engine, one for the light or whistle, and the other I think for automatically reversing direction.. (I'm not sure how this works because the whole thing doesn't work)... so I've turned those on and off many times...
Can someone please help? Surely I couldn't have bought two inoperable systems... so it must be something I'm doing incorrectly. Does the engine need a battery somewhere? I've noticed the power supply doesn't get hot, or even warm... yet there is a green light on the control module. There are no sounds, hums or any other signs of life.
Again, please help if you can.
