One of my lights is out.
None of my lights are on.

When I apply power to the track my
engine starts up (lights and sound) but it
won't move
My engine hesitates at slow speeds.

Solution
Most likely you had been running the engine
in DCC or DCS mode and toggled that light
off. Put it back into one of those modes and
turn that light back on. The engine will
remember that when you run it again in
Conventional DC.
Could be the same reason as "One of my
lights is out"
Is the engine getting power? Check to see if
there if voltage on the track or move the
engine a few feet in either direction.
Check the Tender/Boiler drawbar connection.
You've got to have them locked together.
Solution
Lower the track voltage then raise it again.
The engine should start moving. If you apply
greater than 9VDC quickly the engine will just
sit there. Lowering it below 9VDC then raising
it will get the engine moving.
Check the tender/boiler drawbar connection.
You've got to have them locked together.
An engine may do this right out of the box if it
has not been lubricated. Follow the lubrication
instructions. Now go ahead and run it.
New engines even after they are lubricated
may take a little bit to get everything run in. Be
a little patient and let it run for a bit. It should
clear up shortly after lubricating and running.
