Questions and answers
My new s gauge Lionel train will not react to remote. Switch under engine is on remote. Red light on track just blinks. Does not stay on
The red light on the track blinking and not staying on could indicate that the switch is in programming mode or has not been properly assigned an ID. If the switch is not responding to the remote, it may not be correctly programmed with a unique switch ID, or there could be an issue with the power supply (it requires 14 Volts AC to operate). Ensure that the switch has been programmed correctly by following the reprogramming steps:
1. Press the SET button—this will cause the lantern to flicker and then blink for about 5 seconds.
2. When the blinking stops, press SW and enter the new switch ID number.
3. Alternate AUX1 and AUX2 to verify reprogramming.
If multiple command switches are installed, verify that each has a unique switch ID to avoid interference. Also, check that the power connections are secure and that the switch is receiving the required voltage.
