I'm hoping someone can give me some help. I just unboxed a Lionell Legacy crane car. All functions work as expected, except the cab won't rotate. I've engaged the little silver gear that moves up and down on a shaft to save the unit for shipping, and it turns the bigger black plastic gear when I rotate the throttle knob. However, that black gear doesn't seem to and mesh with anything. There is a large silver gear. I see behind it that when I rotate the cab manually, turns.
Am I missing something? Does that big plastic gear also move up and down so it engages with the larger silver gear? I've tried some "gentle encouragement", but as that gear is plastic, I don't wanna break it.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
