Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 11:12 PM
Hello, I bought brand new from KLine a set of Santa Fe F-3;s ABA. They ran fine untill all of a sudden (they have maybe 1 hour of run time on them although I purchased them over a yr agpo) the second A and the B unit just stop working. Is there a reset button I dont know about? They are not CMCC, Thanks in advance.

JP, if i'm not mistaken there should be wires with small connections going between each of your units. My experience with K-Line is with the older stuff. But first, make sure those wires are connected. If the first A unit is working and the others aren't, this might be the culprit. I'm pretty sure it's the lead A unit that has the circuit board in it (which changes track current from AC to DC for motors and controls forward reverse operation). If you have a DC power pack for trains, you might try touching wires to the pickup and wheels to see if the motors are working.
Otherwise, call K-Line and be prepared to send them back. They are probably out of warranty, but K-Line in the past has been pretty good about this. Also maybe they can talk you through some other possibile problems.
