My goose truck - 82396 worked fine at Christmas going around the tree. I just tried it outside with the switch on #3 and it is completely dead except for the lights. (I do have track power). I have not installed DCC or done any other messing around. Does anyone have suggestions other than taking it somewhere for repair? I hate to spend $400.00 and have it broken already. I thought my wife bought me "fun" and not "trouble".
