They did not come with sound

O.k., that answers one question.  But the smoke simply doesn't work, no matter which setting of the switch inside the smokebox I use.  And I also just checked, and the led lights and flicker in the cab also do not work (and I've tried it with the cab/flicker switch in all positions).  The headlight with its directionality does work.  I suspect there's one wire from the main pc board that supplies power to both the smoke generator and the cab/flicker lights, it's become disconnected or broken, and if I know where it was, I could just fix it with a little solder.

Large / 1:20.3 Forney No Smoke, Chuff

Dear Mr. Bachmann -
Just got & set up my new 1:20 Forney.  Oiled all around, runs on DC on loop of track, lights light, but no smoke nor chuff.  Started with smoke switch in smokebox set to "off", then to "DC".  Put a squeeze or 2 of smoke stuff down chimney.  Is there something more I can do, like setting an obscure switch or soldering a wire, than could fix the problem, or do I need to ship it back to you folks as defective?
