If says 187 on the box, check out this solution:
This train set is very particular and getting it to work each Christmas is a family tradition in frustration. First you must make sure that all the pieces of track are connected properly and that the track is perfectly symmetrical and flat. We double-check the battery positions every year and find one in wrong. There are + and - signs, but they're hard to see; use a flashlight. There is a black toggle switch below and behind the red stack that toggles forward (to make the train go forward) and backwards (reverse); straight out perpendicular to the train is the "stop" position. Also, you have to start at a stop/switch station. One other note: behind the red stack, there is a smaller black stack. If you turn this, you can make smoke come out of the stack. I think I remember someone suggesting a drop of cooking oil. Hope this helps!!! Hope you get it set up for Christmas!!!

I need train tracks for a Christmas train I bought, made by Blue Hat Toy Company

No one sells spare tracks. It comes with 20 feet of track. If you go to a hobby shop that tells train sets and modelmaking supplies, you might be lucky if it is a standard gauge and connection.

Can I buy a replacement light mechanism for the Lemax lighthouse?

This is an electrified display village like one uses at Christmas or for a toy train set- not something we normally see in Automotive. Try this web site: http://www.ehobbytools.com/contents/en-us/d17.html

I need an instruction manual for my 1992 toy state Christmas Magic train. I pulled it out of the attic after 10 years of storage. Everything works but I can get it to move. Please advise.

Not sure what you mean by "everything works buy I can't make it move".Well, it can be several things. If you are sure the batteries are good, contacts clean and there is a little movement of the wheels when turned on, then it needs cleaning of the gears and some lubrication. Alcohol will clean it, use a little brush. There is a light grease sold in hobby shops for train's plastic gears. Or you can use a drop of any light oil, like for sewing machines.
Sometimes motor can be stuck, needs to be turned and soaked/cleaned with alcohol.
If it seams that motor is not getting power/voltage, you would need to get voltmeter and trace the voltage from the batteries through the wires and switch, to the motor.
Seams that you would need to open it/put it apart. If you do it carefully, you don't really need a manual.

If you can't fix it, and you think engine is bad, search eBay for it, there are some engines and cars, individually, for sale. Items found similar to Toy State Christmas Magic Express Train Music...

Hi I have a Rio Grande Train set that I bought for my son. The train works but is not responding or working when we use the remote . Ive out brand new batteries in the remote the light comes on when we...

Look for a small opening with little white tabs that can be moved up and down, on both the train and the remote. All the tabs must be in the same position. ( Same thing on a garage door opener.)
If that's not it, make sure the batteries are in correctly in both items, reversed batteries will run lites and such, but not remote controls.

Hi having trouble with our new bright musical holiday station electric animated train set...very frustrating as one of the train tracks broke off a little part so no matter what my husband tries to do the...

Yes, additional track is available from several places, such as Hobbylinc.com, and TowerHobbies.com. At this time, just after Christmas, they are out of stock, however. Walthers.com has them in stock (1-4-2011). You can find extra track on sale on eBay, as well. Be sure to get the track with the brass covers, as New Bright sells battery powered trains that use bare plastic track, which will not work with the 384. A Google search will turn up more sources.

I need the controler for the SantaLand Musical Train Set

New Bright offers ONLY a 60 day replacement warranty after which there are no parts or service avaialble for this train set.

I would contact New Bright about a replacement or take it back to the store where you bought and select something other than New Bright products.
