Jaimit Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hello, A while ago I got the cornish carrier, I set it up properly with all the track connected properly and the wires alos connected wiht the plug in the socket. I turned up the controller but my train didn't move. It only moved when i pushed it down. The controller light was also on. Can anyone help me or tell me what has gone wrong.

ColinB Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I assume although you don't say it that you are using the controller that came with the set, so the controller light, lights up to sav that there is power being fed to the track. Did it move far when you pushed it down? So if it moves a bit that means the track has power. Its is either the loco pickups are not working properly, or when you push it down it forces a connection on the track. You could try just laying out a couple of pieces of track , put the power on it and seeing if it works. The other thing could be a dirty track where it has been stored.

atom3624 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Taking care to avoid any damage, are you certain the locomotive is operating OK?Turn upside down, all connected where required and touch the pick-up wheels with a 9V battery - assuming it is DC only - all running OK? Feeding in the pick-up connector can be a little tricky as well - often pushes out and disconnects power. The R8250 / similar which routinely comes with sets is only any use for 0-4-0 / small and light locomotives. Any larger, as intimated in Colin's response require more power and these controllers are prone to cutting out. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
