I put in the batteries but nothing will turn on. Do I need a special train to trigger something?
In order to get this to work, you need to bend the battery terminals to make a better connection with the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver.
2. Remove any batteries.
3. You need to very slightly bend the positive battery terminals on the top two battery slots. I suggest using a very small flathead screwdriver if you have one. Place the screwdriver between the terminal and the plastic casing and push the terminal toward the center of the battery compartment.
4. Do step 3 for the top and middle battery slot. You don't need to mess with the bottom slot, as it has a different type of terminal connector.
5. Replace the batteries and screw the compartment door shut. Your station should now work!

I wish I could help - I have exactly the same problem! Train opened Christmas Day, worked ok. Batteries seemed to gradually die 2-3 days later. Replaced all 3 sets of batteries twice, but nothing. Initially I got sounds, but nothing now.

There is a small screw hole on top of the train, down inside what looks to be the smoke stack. Then insert 2 AAAs!

If you look in the funnel there is a screw. Undo this and the front comes off and the batteries will pop out. Put in the new batteries and replace the funnel and screw.

Hi, Im actually looking for instructions for this train online? cant find any?
But....
I think your problem may be down to the fact that the train itself has 2 separate battery compartments! one in the front carriage holding 2 x aa batteries [which powers the wheels and headlamp] and one in the rear carriage which holds 4 x LR44 button cells [to power the rc link and sound effects] not obvious.
What I want to know is what are the little black and red buttons for?

I just got one and can't get it to work either. Did you figure it out?

Hope someone posts an answer. I hate that I spent $50.00 for this piece of garbage that has no instructions and putting batteries in it does nothing!
