Hi Everyone.
I have a Lionel train I inherited from my great grandfather. She's a beaut! I was hoping to get up and running for Xmas. I'm hitting some problems.
The layout is roughly a 4'x8'. Each rail has a pin inserted into it. The pin is in both pieces of track at each joint. I connected a lock on to middle and outside rail and attached leads. The rails have all been cleaned as well as wheels on train.
When I toggle the switch on the transformer, the train does not move. The transformer hums. When I touch to track it stops humming.
Im dealing with some old parts and an expensive engine. I was hoping for some input on how to proceed. Thanks for your help.
