I have a Lionel 1900 on fastrack I got a month ago. I’ve used it quite heavily and run it every day and have switched layout designs a few times.
the locomotive headlight started going out occasionally and the locomotive would stop when this happens. It seemed to start happening at several different parts of the layout, and while I thought it may be a track continuity issue, my troubleshooting has not fixed it.
this problem quickly worsened to the point where not the train just won’t run. I’ve cleaned the track and the wheels... didn’t get better.
when I tap the locomotive or move/reposition it, the headlight goes on and off again.
an led lighted house I have connected to the track remains lit solid.
I can’t find help searching online or seem to figure out what was going on. Would 5 to 10 hours of heavy daily use for a month be sufficient to burn it out?
