This is from the Great Western set # 30034. They dropped it off as the whistle isn't working. Popped the cover looking for loose/broken wires, nothing. Put it on a small piece of track, applied power, hit the whistle button (CW-80) nothing. Now I'm stuck. Suggestions?? Thanks!

The rollers, themselves, are missing. The assembly, they attach to, are still attached to the truck(s). I’ve never much cared for this design. As someone mentioned above, spring tension holds the pickup roller in the plastic assembly. The spring can be flattened, causing issues or the rivet may not be installed corrected, i.e. not properly riveted or not riveted tightly enough. When it is assembled correctly, it works great.
