can't get train to move on track

The train moves fine; however, it was making a clicking sound when it went in reverse, and jerking. Took it to a Lionel Dealer and they lubricated it for us and working fine now.

Make sure all tracks connected and train cars are connected. We had same issue and was usually because electrical was not connected in some way.

Probably way too late here, but you have to plug in the coal car, then push a button on the top of the engine.

Are you sure the track is put together at each end securely? We have had no problem with ours...

You need to get the "g" scale straight and curved track pieces. Make sure its the G scale though.

A friend of mine and I have this train. He actually had it first, and I bought it after because I like it so much. I am in the same situation as you. He says he buys extra track from a reseller, and will be sending me his information today. I will post the answer shortly.

Take the trains completely off the track. Next, make sure each track is securely attached to the other track. It must snap and there can be no spaces. Finally carefully place the trains on the tracks. Line them up perfectly. That should solve the problem

It doesn't work with the smaller trains, and I'm not sure about the tracks. I do not recommend this table. It's very large and very flimsy. The helicopter pad constantly falls apart, some of the pieces don't seem to go with it, and the drawers always sticking (the bottom of one cracked after less than a year). I can't wait until my son outgrows it.

There should be an electrical box that attaches to the tracks, that connects to the control box, the control box cord plugs into the wall. If that is missing, maybe a hobby-train shop would sell something like it? Hopefully you can get it working because it really is a cool train.

Slides in the track only one way. Pay attention to the size of the old one when ordering the replacement. I used some water proof glue at the top. No instructions. Been in place for several years.

They would probably slide off or get stuck at least some of the time. My son has some of the Thomas that run on batteries, and they do get stuck on some decent inclines & tight turns. But there are some straight aways where train can go, but track not really made for trains running on their own.

I would check the batteries first. Ours does slow down a lot when the batteries are low or when the wheels aren't perfectly aligned with the track.

There's a switch on the blue box where you connect the tracks . Make sure the batteries are in the right way . Also do not use it on carpet . Doesn't catch and the track won't swivel because the base slides

Not to my knowledge. Anything is possible if the dynamics are correct Bought this train set for my 3 yr. old grandson and will upgrade to a better one as he becomes older. We are happy with the type of tracks that came with the set.

What Rebecca said. I didn't have any trouble with mine, though, but there should be 2 red levers that allow the cars to shoot into the rest of the track. Now, if the batteries are not good, then it won't supply enough power to launch the cars all the way around.

The cars are huge and it's not enough track for a train that large. Either order more track or don't get it. Ours won't stay on the track when it goes around the short turns.

You have to push the train. You also have to swivel the bridge back and forth. My 3 year old grandson loved playing with it.

As long as the train wheels fit, U can use any track that U desire. Make sure that the transformer works on the track.

Hello, Akshay. I'm happy to help. First, please make sure your batteries are in place and are installed correctly. They can be accessed from the BACK of the engine by removing the small screw with a Phillips screwdriver. As far as turning the train on, hold the engine with the front facing left. You will see 3 wheels at the bottom of the train. Look just above the 3rd wheel to the right and you will see a small black switch. This turns the train on and off. My model has a small sticker with a red arrow pointing left just above the on/off switch. I hope this helps. Alan
