General Discussion / Power Pack Problem?
December 13, 2013, 05:38:05 PM
I got the Chattanooga "EZ Track" train set as a gift from my parents a few days ago.  Set it up and it worked just fine for about a week.  But then a couple days ago, it started not quite working right.

It came with the 46605A Power Pack.  It seems it's having a problem going counter-clockwise.  When I turn the speed dial up - with the "direction" button to the left - it runs the engine just fine... full speed... with the engine going forwards clockwise or backwards clockwise, depending on which way you place it on the track.  But when I flip the "direction" button to the right and turn the speed dial ALL THE WAY UP (supposed to send the train COUNTER-clockwise), the engine sounds like it's trying to go and it only moves like 1/4 - 1/2 an inch per second.  REALLY SLOW.

I assume it's not the engine since it will go both FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS, FULL speed just fine, depending on which way you place it on the track.  It just won't go counter-clockwise... which is decided by the power pack.  So I think it's a problem with the power pack / speed controller.  Anyone else have this type of problem?  Since I just got it a few days ago, I assume it's also under warranty still.  Any insight?

Thanks!!
