Recently, I purchased a new Proto 2000 E6 from an online store. When I received it, two lift rings were broken and the engine wouldn't run. To clarify, the lights lighted perfectly but the motor wouldn’t turn. In order to test the engine, I cleaned the track, "spun" the flywheel, and eventually put power straight to the trucks with no results except operating headlights. I sent the engine back to Life-Like, which promptly sent back a new shell, the old chassis and a NEW chassis. Much to my dismay, neither engine runs, but both light. Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions, tricks, something (even a suggestion from a similar problem with a different manufacturer)! I would call myself a long-time beginner/intermediate modeler; by posting this message, I have had to swallow my pride. Having bought the train from an online source, however, I don't know where else to turn. Should I send the engine back to Life-Like? <br /> <br />Thanks in advance, David <br /> <br />
