Scientific train Pennsylvania 9714 sound wont work

In 1911, Frederick Taylor published The Principles of Scientific Management, in which he explains how productivity can be greatly improved by applying the scientific method. ... Scientifically select, train, and develop each worker rather than passively leaving them to train themselves.

Hello, Jeff -

Read the description of the model train here:

The set includes

Eight curved FasTrack sections, three straight FasTrack sections, one FasTrack terminal section

Best wishes.

I would suspect a bad switch or a bad motor.
These parts are not available anywhere that I have ever heard of.. You might go to the store you purchased it from and ask them.
God bless your efforts.

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.

Try flipping the "Reverse" switch on the bottom rear of the locomotive.

It's on top of the third stack behind the smoke stack.

Hope you got the set working. If not, look underneath the locomotive near the rear (under the "cabin"). There are two switches, one on either side. One says "Smoke", the other says "Reverse". If the "Reverse" switch was set to "Off" when the locomotive was in Neutral, it will stay in neutral even when the power is cycled or the "Direction" button is pressed on the power supply. Even in Neutral, all the lights will work and I believe the smoke element will heat up but won't puff. Whatever setting the "Reverse" switch is on, try changing it to se if that works. Hope this helps...

WELL WHERE EVER YOU BOUT IT FROM YOU SHOULD TRY TAKING IT BACK THERE AND GETTING THEM TO LOOK AT IT,TAKE IT TO THE SHOP,OR BUY A NEW ONE. :)
