A possible tip for anyone else who experiences this. Luckily I was able to fix my brand new MTH PRR caboose which was dead on the tracks right out of the box. After shell removal and inspection I found one of the wires was not at all connected. Hoping for the best I pushed it on the only open pin and lo and behold I now have lights. I have no way to tell if the signal guy works as I will need a regular Xfmr setup which I do not have yet ( I have DCS remote commander ) . Hopefully it should. Sure glad I do not have to send it back.
