Legotrainmaster Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Hello I have been collecting and enjoying Lego trains for the past 4 years and I have luckily never had a problem I couldn’t fix till today. I had just finished moving around some track to add more room for my growing collection when I thought I would give my trains all a good run around to see how well the track plan was going to work out. I go to run my green cargo RC train and it doesn’t move more then 4 inches before it turns it self off. Ok I think well maybe the batteries are died it’s been a while since I have been running them. So I changed out the batteries in it and still same result. I have tried changing the wheels out for another set and still same result. I’m beginning to think it’s the motor but I have no idea what it could be. Any ideas or suggestions would be great. I would hate to lose my first Lego train purchase! Thanks Danny Also has anyone ever had the older wheels stiffen up on them that they don’t roll freely any more?? Quote

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, and you've said you changed the batteries. Did you change them in the remote as well? The other day i was having the same prob and that's what i did. It worked better, the closer i stood to the train the better signal. Other than that, I don't know. I'm really hoping you don't have to buy new. Quote

The remote works and the engine response to it but after about 4 to 5 inches the red light goes off and the train just turns it self off. Quote
renewal Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 don't forget that the train has 6 (six) batteries in it, not only the 3 on the bottom. you have to takeout the whole cardridge to replace them. Quote
