Frequently Asked Questions

Why has my train stopped?

If you apply too much power, the train will cut the power to the motors to protect them from burning out. To recover, move the throttle to 0 and close the Master Circuit Breaker (MCB). You will hear the locomotive come back to life, and you'll be able to reapply power without stopping.
