7898 power button repair?

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I managed to get a used 7898 set, working just fine, but the power button on the engine does not seem to work, so I have to take out the batteries in order to power down the train, or the batteries drain over a day or so.

Any recommendation or pointers if it's possible to repair it?

I assume that it's supposed to turn off the power when pressed?

Thanks..

Hmm, it seems like one of the wires were not that good.

Now for the big question: Is the power button supposed to Toggle the power on the train, or only power it on, and then it should power off by it self? (Like the remote does..)

And we are talking about this baby:

It should power off by itself after 7 minutes or so if idleness. I am still using one of these (taken out of the casing) to power a Robel maintenance train. It seems that it has a linking for fresh batteries though...

Probably one of the reasons why RC was a short lived solution
