Troubleshooting

LED light does not turn on

Check that the lamp is correctly wired to a functional power supply. Verify the voltage of the power supply is suitable for the LED (typically 12-16V). Ensure all connections are secure and free from corrosion.

Flickering light

Check for loose wire connections at the lamp and the power source. Ensure the power supply is stable and adequate for the load. If using DCC, check the track voltage or accessory output.

Lamp is damaged or broken

Inspect the packaging for transit damage. If damage is found, contact the retailer. Minor repairs may be possible with appropriate model glues, but professional assistance might be needed for electrical components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This model is designed for HO Gauge (1:87 scale) layouts. It requires a connection to a compatible low-voltage power supply (e.g., a model railway transformer or DCC system). Follow the included instruction sheet for specific wiring guidance to connect the LED. Ensure the power supply is appropriate for LED lighting and the voltage requirements.
