Hi Tarja, your question is 4 years old, but here is the answer:
You've probably seen the odd shaped tiny screws on the underside of the train. Ignore them - they require specialized tools and only lead to the wheels and gears.
You just need to insert a small cross-tip screwdriver into the exhaust funnel of the engine and remove the screw completely. The black front of the engine comes off and reveals AAA micro batteries which you gently shake out of the engine and replace.
As ever so often - once you know how to do it, it is very easy.
And - no, I didn't find out myself either *grin*

SOURCE: Hi, any chance you can

There is a small screw hole on top of the train, down inside what looks to be the smoke stack.  Then insert 2 AAAs!

Easy to do. You'll find a small phillips screw located at the bottom of the black smokestack. After unscrewing it, lift up the entire front black part and you will see two AA batteries inside the body of the locomotive. Careful not to strip the screw when replacing the black smokestack part, as it is the only thing holding it down!

If you look in the funnel there is a screw. Undo this and the front comes off and the batteries will pop out. Put in the new batteries and replace the funnel and screw.

I wish I could help - I have exactly the same problem! Train opened Christmas Day, worked ok. Batteries seemed to gradually die 2-3 days later. Replaced all 3 sets of batteries twice, but nothing. Initially I got sounds, but nothing now.

SOURCE: My Brio RC train Express model, does not work,

Hi, Im actually looking for instructions for this train online? cant find any?
But.... I think your problem may be down to the fact that the train itself has 2 separate battery compartments! one in the front carriage holding 2 x aa batteries [which powers the wheels and headlamp] and one in the rear carriage which holds 4 x LR44 button cells [to power the rc link and sound effects] not obvious.
What I want to know is what are the little black and red buttons for?

Brio 512 Mighty Red Engine Locomotive. I got the triangle screws out of the underside. Bottom seems stuck. What is the small red button?

'Triangle Screws' are security screws so that you can't remove them. Your question is a bit to specialised for Fixya, so contact the maker direct. They may just say, "send it back and we will replace it, or repair it".

Changed batteries in Brio train (mighty red locomotive) and still does not turn on. It was used for about an hour and stopped working abruptly.

I had the same problem with one old locomotive. There are three things to check:
  1. the main power slide switch is set on the rigth position
  2. on the bottom of the loco, there a small red bump, it is perhaps blocked in the pushed position
  3. this one was the solution for me. Dismantle the battery cap and make sure that both metallical parts are in contact.

Brio train 512

Depends what you mean by small hills? Has the loco climbed these small hills in the past without problem? A one in twelve (one inch climb for every twelve inches travelled) incline is about as much as this loco could manage I imagine, and even less when loaded with box cars etc. Sadly the traction drive on these loco's seems to have a short life. I have heard that giving the loco a good firm solid whack down onto a hard surface may get the internal gears to settle down and get more traction. There's an average chance it might work. Do not attempt to open it up, this will create a real mess because it's just about impossible to get all the minute loaded springs back into their correct place.

I don't have a Brio triangular screwdriver

The battery is easy to replace. The screw is located in the black "smokestack" and will require a small size phillips-head screwdriver to unscrew. The rest is easy--lift up on the black smokestack (I usually leave the screw in place), and the two AA batteries are located end-to-end in the body.
