Duplo train and bridge (3774)

[bis188]

Hi there,

I am new to this forum ...

I recently acquired the bridge set 3774 (pre-owned), immediately I found the train does not go through the bridge, ie: stuck on both the incline as well as delcine1/2 on the bridge. In another word, it won't go thru. I had brand new battery and the wheels are clean free of dust or hair. Has anyone experience similar or any tricks and technique to make it run ??

Cheers !

There's been a lengthy discussion about different sizes of Duplo track here:

Might that have something to do with it?

When you say “get stuck“, maybe you could elaborate?

- How does it get stuck (wheels spin, hits something)?

- Which engine and cars are you using?

Perhaps there's some silicone lube on the track?

To be able to climb inclines, the Duplo locomotive uses a cog railway-like system with teeth on its (rear) wheels which mesh with the racks of the bridge elements. Problems can occur when the racks are damaged; i.e. when some teeth are missing or deformed. Can you share a picture of the bridge?

I have what seems to be a low power issue that sounds like this.  I inspected the gears (no apparent missing teeth)  and the track seems fine.  I have two locomotives,  one goes up,  obe gets stuck, sp i do not think it is the track.  I started a separate topic (whoopsie)
