Having A Problem With Your Train Set? Here Is A Quick Reference Guide
Lionel Fastrack Remote Sets
1. Make sure you have good AAA Batteries in the remote
2. If you think you are missing pieces in your set, turn the styrofoam box over. Usually there are additional contents on the back side of the packaging.
3. Did you put the batteries in correctly + and -
If the battery cover is removed, ensure the batteries are fully seated in the battery compartment
4. Make sure the power supply is plugged into the track. Make sure the light on the track lights up. Ensure the outlet the power supply is plugged into functions properly (not controlled by an on/off switch in the off position)
5. Is the train in sleep mode? Did you leave the power supply plug in when you’re not using it? Reset sleep mode by unplugging the power, wait 20 seconds and then replug the power supply.
(this is a function of the remote turning off and the train just stopping. The remote needs to be cycled off/on, not the loco)
6. Make sure all your track is pushed in together and the connections are tight together.
7. Are all the wheels of the train on the track? Make sure they are on, or the engine will not move!
8. It’s possible that you may have a bad piece of track. If this is the case, the engine will stop at the same location. Replace that piece of track or try turning the track around or putting it in another location to see if the problem continues. There is also a quick video that shows folks how to correct a piece of track not getting power! This takes all of 2 seconds to do it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH27b0hmkdI
9. If you added on extra track or accessories you may need a bigger power supply!
10. You must unplug your transformer when it is NOT in use.
