I am the original owner of the MTH Burlington Zephyr (30-2186-1) which I bought in 2001. It has always worked well for a PS 1 train. I put a BCR in it years ago. My problem is that only the first and last cars light up. The middle 2 cars do not. I have one of those multimeters. How can I check continuity etc to get those lights back on?
you have to check the harness's that go threw under the cars and connect threw the trucks more then likely you have either a bad harness connector , did you check the bulb inside the cars ! take some pictures of the truck ends which you will see the connectors and post them hear some one will be able to help you. I recently repaired a set about a year ago the harness are not available from mth any more. I checked with midge! the wire harness go threw the truck assembly!
sometimes the solder traces on the wheel sets need to be soldered again cold solder joint
