Newbie LGB Sound Trouble

[Ingenieur]

Hi!

We're new to the Large Scale modeling and purchased a new LGB 72332 Southern Passenger set last week with some Christmas Cars for display and running around the tree.  I have HO scale Marlin and DC as well in the house (not including the myriad of my son's GeoTrax).

However, upon putting it together and wiring it up tonioght,  I am not getting any sound.  No chuffing from the engine, no bell or whistle.  I installed a fresh 9V in the tender as recommended, still to no avail.  Any ideas as to what I am not doing?  Is the unit defective?  How would I know?  The Loko looks awesome and runs smoothly, and my kids are enthralled, I am just disappointed in the sound (or lack thereof).

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Dennis

I will try and help 2 things spring to mind is there a switch or volume knob on base of tender or have any wires from tender been attached to the loco? is there also a switch in loco cab? If you have done all of these then check with any retailer who should be only to happy to help, as a last resort take it back to where purchased and ask them to test run it for you. May I ask, if you put a rough idea where you are it helps people that are close by to help IE Train Buff  London UK  as you can see from mine  that I live in the middle of England

Thanks!

I will update my info accordingly!  The wires connecting the loco and tenderhave been corrected.  There is a volume knob on the base of the tender that was full clockwise and I have turned it a half turn counterclockwise.

A switch in the loco?  That I will have to look for.  I did not see one but that might help solve everything.  The loco is a 2-4-0 for reference.

I have already contacted the store and may have to exchange it, but with Thanksgiving and all, everything is closed right now.

Thank you very much for your help!

MANY THANKS!

FIXED!!!!

 Your sugestion that there was a switch in the loco was spot on.  I had looked on the bottom before, but not towards the top of the interior.  Thank you again so much!

Gratefully,

So is it working?

The LGB Southern Starter set was my entry into the world of G scale and I love that set.  I have had it for a year and I have had no problems.
