There is zero power to the engine. No lights on it or anything. The others car get power (lights) it's just the loco.

It's the light on the powerpack.

The Big Hauler 4-6-0 locomotives have a quirk that sometimes causes this problem.  The front truck (the 4 small wheels) can turn around 180 degrees and when it does, it can short the tracks.  There should be an arrow pasted to the bottom of this truck and it should point forward when you put the locomotive on the track.  If the arrow is missing (and they often are,) turn the truck around and see if this helps.  If it does not help, put the truck back the way it was, then carefully examine the wiring from those small front wheels to make sure it has not lost its insulation where it passes through the top of the truck.

Arrow is pointing in proper direction.

yes it is just like that. I get absolutley no power to the engine. No lights, nothing.

Will that drain the power?

No light gets bright when I take it off. It dims with engine only. Not with any other cars on the track.

I just set up my Big Hauler Northern Lights Edition for the season. When I try to send power to the engine nothing happens except the power light on the power indicator goes dim. Can someone help?
