Solution
When I apply power to the track my
engine doesn't do anything. No lights,
no sound, no nothing.
I have no sound from my engine, but
my lights are on and it moves just fine.
There's a crackling sound from my
engine
Check to see if that section of track has
power. Use a voltmeter or a lit passenger car.
Slide the engine a couple of feet in either
direction, you may have a bad track section
Have you got that section electrically isolated
with a toggle switch or other device?
Check that you have the Panto/Track switch in
the correct position for your operating
environment
Check the volume pot. Full CW = Max volume
Check to see if a screw or some other
material hasn't lodged itself in the underside
of the chassis or tender
Make sure smoke volume pot is turned full
