E-Unit repair

Did you make sure the e-unit lever is in the "on" position?  That lever is big, but the contact point for it is just an tiny eyelet, so if the lever gets bumped it may be "off" and stuck in whatever setting it was last run.

Genius post! That was the problem. 

thanks.

I’m glad CK helped you figure out your issue, and you were able to get that 2349 running as it should. BUT...ya think ya might have jumped the gun just a wee bit by throwing Robbie’s Hobbies under the bus? ......I’m a million miles away from Robbie’s Hobbies, don’t know them, don’t know I ever will. Small brick and mortar hobby shops are falling off the face of the earth....your initial post about them lying to you, and tampering with your locomotive was evidently wrong (thanks to CK) ......so you didn’t have a “problem” you had operator error......if this were my post, I’d either apologize to the folks that fixed your loco, or edit my initial post.....not trying to be mean, and again, I’m glad your up and running, but give the credit where credit is due.............Pat

You're right. My apologies to Robbies Hobbies.

Maybe you should call them and apologize personally.

By ordering something else

The e-unit lever check fix is analogous to checking your gas cap before chasing a check engine light in your car.  I think most hobby shops take pride in their repair work.

Actually, I did check it several times before posting. Un-noticed by bye,there was some dust particles preventing a clean contact. I obviously jumped to conclusions, and I was wrong. I have apologized.

Yes you did! Good deed done...
