Lionel 345 culvert unloader.

Need help. The carrage will not travel far enough to close the limit switch that starts the magnet down. There is no way to adjust the limit switch. Has anyone had this problem and if so is there a fix?

If this is a postwar unloader, there is no limit switch.  The unit just cycles around the belt but the strings have to be just the right length and the places where there are 2 strings, they can not be tangled.

I can fix this if you like.

Thanks for the replay. it is tmcc. To answer my own ? I cut a small piece of double sided tape leaving one side covered applied it to the limit switch arm the switch now closes.

The limit switches can be adjusted by loosening the screws that secure them to the beam.
