What to do if my MTHTrains Engine doesn't work at all?
If your MTHTrains Engine isn't working, with no lights, sound, or movement when you apply power, try these steps: * Check if the track section has power using a voltmeter or a lit passenger car. * Slide the engine a few feet to bypass any bad track sections. * Ensure the track section isn't electrically isolated by a toggle switch or other device.
Why is my MTHTrains Engine making a crackling sound?
If your MTHTrains Engine is making a crackling sound, check the underside of the engine body for any screws or foreign material that may be lodged there.
