    Several models shown for sale on EBAY.COM.

    One shows a remote control, and it is unclear if that is your train or not.

SOURCE: I have a great American

Ours is a really old model, but the on/off button is located on the second car (coal car) towards the very front. It's red on our set. I am looking for help on the smoke part. I can't remember what we're supposed to use for that.

I have a Telco Santa express train that won't go into spin or take off mode
It is a vintage item and not much known about it.

Most repairs can be undertaken at a local model shop. If they don't do it, they will know someone that does.

I bought the Sugar Town Express train set (3pc) and the train starts but doesn't move. Do I need a new motor or a different set of batteries for the train wheels to move?
I have a vague recollection that there are two sets of batteries. One in the Train and one in the Caboose.

The train is not responding to the remote.
I had a similar problem with my 11000 Holiday Tradition Express. I cleaned the track with an eraser (pencil-type) and then used a soft cloth to clean any possible residue. After doing this twice, my train is now running.
