I bought a 100th Anniversary Limited Edition Lionel Train Alarm Clock. The train won't move. Are there 2 button batteries on the bottom or the engine and coal car? If so, can they be replaced?

Try new batteries in the controller Be sure they are in correct. The LED light should come on when it has power. Try moving closer to the train. Usually when the red light is flickering is when there is an engine problem. But here is the Manual just in case you did not have one. Also it has a number for lionel Service in there. Good luck. =) http://www.lionel.com/media/servicedocuments/60287110222501.pdf

They will give you instructions if they think it needs to be sent in for repair.
The instructions are sometimes a bit vague: for example, once switched on the train needs to sit and charge before it runs, but that is not very evident from the instructions and many folks spent some frustrating minutes wondering why the train wouldn't move.
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.
This is just a guess but it may have powered headlights or other lights on the train at one time, some of then even had a smoke producing device on them.
