Hello all, I have a question.
I have a new set (white pass and yukon) and when I power it up the light on the speed controller never comes on whether it is connected to the track or not.
Is the light on the basic speed controller simply a power light? Or does it somehow validate the connections?
I'm trying to figure out if my controller/transformer is bad or I goofed up a connection.
Thanks!
Dear Tim,
Rotate the speed control knob. Does the loco run?
Have fun!

Thanks for your response. I guess I should have added that the train doesn't run :)
Turns out the controller is bad, or at least flaky. Regardless if its connected to the track or not sometimes it comes on and sometimes not.
I called customer service and they were absolutely great. Even tho the controller was working at that moment they recommended I swap it out and they followed up with phone calls and emails plus got it out right away. Very impressive.
