This one has a 2 position switch, Large Scale and NMRA. All it appears to do is switch the headlight from the Loco to Tender. Same with the direction switch on the transformer.

About the only thing that appears to work on the engine is the light.

This was my first G-gauge train and first Bachmann. I have several O-gauge trains.

So this year it will be a stationary train under the tree.

I sent all my information to customer service, hopefully they will take care of things. Since there was no visible damage on the box, I doubt if the shipper will have any liability.

I think that the box must have taken a pretty good jolt during shipment. There was no visible damage anywhere on the box, but the rear truck on the tender was broken as well. I managed to superglue that back together only to have problems with the engine.

My guess is a wire came loose somewhere inside of the engine and taking it apart may cause even more issues. I have continuity between the left side wheels and the right side wheels as well as lights, so guessing my issue is the motor or some wire to the motor.

Oh well, I guess that I have a whole year to get it running for next year's tree.

I just received the Wonderland Flyer Christmas set and appear to have a dead locomotive. I've checked the voltage on the track with a volt meter and everything appears to be fine. The light on the Loco comes on and switches to the tender when the direction switch is changed. But no movement or noise from the locomotive what so ever.

Just trying to see if there is something easy to look for that maybe the culprit. The drive wheels have yet to make a single rotation.
