Did you check the reverse switch? Be sure that it is turned ON. If your locomotive still will not run, check that there are no fibers wrapped around the wheel axles or any exposed gears. If none of these fix the problem you will need to take your locomotive and tender to a Lionel Service Station.

Make sure you the wheels on the cars are actually rolling and not sliding (being drug down the track) Most of the animation is down mechanically as the set moves.

We struggled with this just today...finally figured out that you have to twist the small piece right behind the bell on the top of the locomotive.

Clean the metal wheel with rubbing alcohol applied on a Q Tip and clean the track with steel wool. Then try it. Cleaning it will provide a better contact for the film on it prebvents contact to run from stowage

I by passed the engine board found that it only would run backwards....went into the tender and taped into the power from tack bypassing the rectifer... By the way the engine does not start up when one uses the remote...there is a 20 second delay before starting

Will not go forward, but will go reverse

Diagnostic: Poor connection/conduction between carbon brushes and rails.
Solution: Clean carbon brushes and metal rails with solvent. If problem persists you must need to expand the inner carbon brushes' coil spring from the second car.

Have a lionel holiday tradition express. Lights are on, but train won't sing or go forward. Changed batteries and nothing.

Have you let the loco charge first? The instructions are a bit vague but the loco needs to charge before it runs. Not easily understood from the instructions and many have spent some frustrating minutes wondering why their train wouldn't move.

Holiday Tradition Express, engine tender not working. Contacted Lionel Trains, they have no replacement parts or service available.

Best bet is to search the internet for Lionel replacement parts. Try to include as much information in your search.

try to connect from the other side of the track i am not familular with this model but of the track as been switched round maybe it only connects from one side.

I have soldered wires to the tracks before to have a perment connection and then just terminate the wires to the power supply with clips. maybe this is a work round.

I hope this was useful and Happy holidays.

I bought the set last year of holiday lionel trains g replaced batteries, have light on remote and noise from engine but no movement? any ideas

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.

The train is not responding to the remote.

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.
