Has anyone else have had problems with these? I'm about ready to pull my hair out dealing with this. So I'm in the middle of redoing my layout and adding a town with some crossings. I ordered 2 of them and they both don't work out of the box. One lit up and the other did nothing.So I returned them to Train World. They sent 2 back and one of those worked fine and the other only worked twice before the sound stopped and the lights quit flashing. I returned that one and just got it's replacement today and it did the same thing as the last one only working a few times before the sound and flashing lights quit. I called lionel and there sending me returned label. I thought they would be more reliable without any moving parts.
