There is no On/Off switch on the train. Power goes from wall plug to transformer, then from transformer to track clip, which must be attached to the track. A control line goes from the track clip to the controller. Mine has a green light just above the red On/Off button that will come on even if the engine and tender are not on the track. The tender does all the work, and must be connected to the engine and on the track. There are four sliding contacts between the tender wheels that provide contact with the track.

check the electrical current to the trans former , then check the out put from transformer, may not be getting adequate electricity flow to operate , and if you continue to operate under required current , it may damage engine and or transformer , gd luck

We struggled with this just today...finally figured out that you have to twist the small piece right behind the bell on the top of the locomotive.

Make sure the batteries are installed correctly and that the connection points are clean and have a tight connection.

Sold on eBay but looks like the bands at missing. Go to Home Depot and buy some -O-rings that fit. 3 or 4 each side should do it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185618976768 I wonder if these would fit?

The controller and the car must be matched. Sounds like both are matched using the same frequency. Look at the instructions for changing the controller and car to a different frequency Then change one car and controller. try here Technical Documentation New Bright Industrial Co for info

How do i get the train to turn on and make noises anbd move

The track layout is simple enough,there are 12 straight peice of tracks and 12 curved tracks. So you can make it one big circle and not use the straight tracks or add 1-6 on each sidewith straight track and you'll have a long oval. Or have 1-4 on each side then add 1-4 after the third curved track of each circlular end to have a big type oval style.Some lites lite up right when you push the power switch on and the remaining lights will work once the train is in motion.

If you take the look at the price in the link

then you will realise why it does not worth to someone sell only the parts you need since you can buy the whole unit at this prices. So you should think to buy a whole unit and if you love the one you already have you can transfer all the parts you need and have also some spares.

ebay, or hobbyshop, or hobbyzone

I think I'd get one of those chargers that will fit anything- select the right plug and voltage, you're in.

eBay is where I'd check first.

lp

yes just look at the boot sales or flea markets ,find a 9v charger with correct end on ,or visit the local chinese emporium and no b?doubt you will find a charger in their of 9v its a fairly common voltage ,9.6?? well 9v will do it fine ,or even a 12v one but dont leave it connected for any length of time

switch pieces on opposite sides, one straight piece on each side of switch piece, then 5 curved pieces each end.

If the antenna came off of the controller in one day, I would return the whole unit to where you bought it and exchange it for a new unit.
