I'm hoping someone could help me out. I am new to engines with proto-sound and I am not sure how to trouble shoot them. I purchased a MTH 2002 Allegheny 2-6-6-6 with PS1.0 used and in great condition. I ran it around the track yesterday a few times with no issues. however when I went to try agian later on the same day the engine would power up, make two bell sounds and if I left it powered up on low powet for 30 seconds it would go into an idle sequence, but when I tried to move the train it would not move. I tried using a new 9V battery and same result. Any ideas on how to solve this issue? My plan is to get it working and possibly sell b/c I am trying to get into HO collecting since it requires less space.
