I was test running some HO Proto 2K diesels yesterday - ffirst time ever since purchasing them - and the following did/didn't happen- SW 9 - dead. No lights, no power, no apparant missing wires, no jambed gearsets, motor armature/flywheels turn freely (w/ one's finger, not power) SD7 - only would run in one direction. In one direction, operation was fine, w/ lights, etc./ when reversing direction, all was dead, incl. lights. I assume that the problem is in the circuit boards, as the wheels are clean, and both units were new, out of the box, but purchased several ago, so returning to Trainworld won't work, and I'd prefer not to send them back to Life-Like if there's a simple fix. BTW - the balance of my roster ran fine on thesame track/same power supply, except a new Athearn Genesis 2-8-2 that wouldn't track thru any #6 or #8 switches, without the lead set of drivers jumping the rails, but that sucker is going back to Athearn unless a simple fix is found. Apparantly it's a quite common challenge with this item. (my Genesis 4-6-2 ran just fine on the same stretch of track) Any suggestions would be welcomed! Thanks. BILL
