I must be loosing my mind at my age it does not surprise me. I am a Choo Choo 638 fan and have over the last few months have picked up several. I decided to take them all apart to make them all runners. Now its time to put them back together and I cannot get them running.
If I hook up the tender to the track they run great as soon as I wire then to the engine no go. I know I am doing something wrong with the wiring but can't seem to figure it out.
If anyone can help me I would be one happy old man.
Thanks

itcould be one of two things or bot. you might have the contack wheels on the wrong rail, or you might have the tender frame in backwords. i've done both.

I think Jerry's right. You probably have the drivers turned around on the loco, or the tender frame in backwards so that the pickup wheels are all on the same rail. The tender picks up the right rail, and the locomotive the left.

Thats just what I have done. Both pick ups are on the same rail.
I knew I would get the right answer from someone.
