Hello,
I'm new to model RR and to this forum. I pieced together a set up from things I bought separately on ebay and tried setting everything up, I get a humming sound which comes and goes and the lights come and go as well, but no movement... obviously I'm not getting a steady supply of electricity, but even when the lights are on, it won't move.
Here are the specifics, I appreciate any insight:
I have the LGB 2071 D locomotive.
I bought brass track that looks to have some tarnish, and does not have the plastic ties to keep the sections together, so there may be gaps(?).
I have the LGB 5003/110 transformer... it has a plug and the wires to clip to the track, but it also has a second set of spring clips, so do I need a second set of wires/track clips?
When I set everything up, I hear a hum and the lights come on in the locomotive for a bit, but it won't move... and the hum will stop and the lights go out.
Thanks in advance for any help!
