Hi all,
Just for reference I am a totally newbie when it comes to model trains- this was my first purchase and I know very little- sorry.
I purchased the Night Before Christmas Large G scale train last November. I ran it under my Christmas tree with what I thought pretty much no issues, although the problem I'm having this year did happen right out of the box.
The train runs sporadically and then will just stop. I have checked all the connections- made sure every piece of track is locked in and all connectors are secure.
If I hold the locomotive and barely touch the track the wheels turn fast and normal like it should. When I set it down, or start with it in its normal position it is very hard to run. And now this year it just won't stay running- maybe will go around 1-3 times then shuts off. I tried it alone with no cars/caboose and also with the cars and same issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
