Hi everyone im new to model railroading and im haveing trouble getting my lionel to move at all on my track, i have the wires going to post A and U but no action. the green light is on on my transformer and just hums loudly. any help would be great thanks mike. p.s is there a book railroads for dummies?
Try a volt meter from U and the other on A. With the throtle lever moved , you should get a reading. If not, transformer problems. If yu got voltage there, trace yur wiring and connections to track. Then put volt meter on center rail and the outside rail you have the U post connected. Should get voltage there. If you do, you have got train problems.
You can find manuals and other info on my website, in the O / O27 section
