6 new 'c' cell batteries in the coal car and plugged into ther engine and a new 9v battery in the remote. still no power. almost as if there is an ON switch somewhere thats NOT on but I cannot find one anywhere?

A 9V battery is used in many applications requiring a greater amount of power than other devices. A nine-volt battery pack usually comes with a charger that makes it easier for consumers to instantly charge anytime they need to. These standard cells serve various applications and devices.

The required, (but not included), 4 "C" size batteries fit inside the coal car. One "AA" size battery goes in the pump car, (which has a lantern light, besides the pumping soldier), and 3 "AA" size batteries are needed for the remote control. There are separate switches on the engine, the coal car and the pump car to activate all the features of the train. The directions are explained on the remote control devise.

your test light will always illuminate because ther are certain things that draw power all the time computer memory ,stereo memory , and other moduals try unplugging the trunk lamp ,glovebox lamp and engine compartment lamp

They're just used to retain memory. That's all. Once power comes on, the time should be correct. Now if the power went out and there was no battery on the clock, when the power comes back on it goes straight to flashing 1200.

if you are a bit handy, you can by replacement 9v packs/adapters that you can solder or wire nut on. Depending on what type of remote you have, it might be more economical to by a new one. the packs are ready available on eBay.

If all cars are not properly on the track, the engine does not have enough power to pull the cars. Try with engine and coal car only to zero in on cause.

There is no on/off switch. Remote will give no indication of working. Try putting engine and coal car only and try. I have had this train set for two years and the remote tends to work whenever it wants.

I had a similar problem with my 11000 Holiday Tradition Express. I cleaned the track with an eraser (pencil-type) and then used a soft cloth to clean any possible residue. After doing this twice, my train is now running.

I don't think the 12V power pack is the problem. Generally there would be a regulator on the plug pack input to the transmitter (as power packs are notoriously bad at voltage regulation).

My guess is it an 'earth leak' between the TV and the transmitter via the audio lead. Does the powerpack have a earth pin. If so, are you able to plug it into an non-earthed power outlet.

If this isn't possible try removing the ground connection from the audio lead.

It could also be a bad audio lead.

Is the TV mono and the transmitter stereo or visa versa? You may need a mono to stereo lead.

Hopefully something in here will help.
