Interesting so you think its wired wrong or correctly it does seem over simple the non wired track how should it look. And I've blocked the gaps so they should be fine these wires are my last throw of the dice then I'm going to buy a bigger ho reversing track maybe the 25100 norman rockwells main street christmas on30 street car set. Bit worried about it being battery operated but a bigger trolley would suit my lemax village scale.....thank for any help once again m8

controller fixed --- just a fuse in plug
re wired- wired ab track
second non wired ab track look a little basic just 2 wires?

Great advice mate, appreciate that......Track fine its the auto reverse  type so no issue
Took off the back of the ab track all looks ok although the orange wire looked a tad dodgy.
I notice that the red light on the controller has now gone out is this as there is a loose connection on the wired ab track or could the fuse have broken.
Can you buy the wired tracks and controllers anywhere as spares.

Thinking buying a whole new set for £130 as ive spent so long on this and just accepting that i bought a brand new dud.

trouble is its an American product so i can not ring for help and postal costs for bits are trough the roof.

Are they normally reliable as the cost for this set to not work is going up massively

missing piece to this village is proving a pain.

Kids Xmas village depends on this working - Save our set up if you can.

Hi bought one of these sets along with additional track – brand new.

System works fine with my Trolley(Happy holidays version). It goes all the way along the track from left to right until it reaches the wired auto reversing track then it stops and does nothing. I even had success bringing the train back when I undid a piece of the track it came back until I put the track back in and then it reversed. But on the whole the auto reversing does not work

Are these sets known to be temperamental I am sure I have the track in the right order and connections are good as it makes the whole run just does not reverse. (B b-b b-a a-a a-a a-a a-b bb-b )

Any advice ? Is this a common problem how do most people fix it ? can you get replacement wired a-b track lengths?
