Dear busguy187, Mike, and JP,

Thank you so much for posting this note!! We bought the Acela for our 7 year old, who is a major railfan.  We spent the afternoon putting it together and could get the coaches to light up, but could not get any power to the engine. 

After he went to bed, I checked this site and then found this thread.  Tomorrow will be better than Christmas morning for my little guy!!!

Thanks so much for posting!!
