New Bright Toys - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Make sure the batteries are installed correctly and that the connection points are clean and have a tight connection.

Here are a couple of resources from New Bright:

There is no On/Off switch on the train. Power goes from wall plug to transformer, then from transformer to track clip, which must be attached to the track. A control line goes from the track clip to the controller. Mine has a green light just above the red On/Off button that will come on even if the engine and tender are not on the track. The tender does all the work, and must be connected to the engine and on the track. There are four sliding contacts between the tender wheels that provide contact with the track.

Yes it should. See the adverts and repair videos in the link. https://www.google.com/search?q=Does+a+New+Bright+Christmas+Express+1996+engine+smoke ..

Sold on eBay but looks like the bands at missing. Go to Home Depot and buy some -O-rings that fit. 3 or 4 each side should do it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185618976768 I wonder if these would fit? Ask the internal diameter. https://www.amazon.com/Plarail-Repair-Parts-Rubber-16pcs/dp/B000LXS8IM ....

This goes back about 40 years for me. Both Lionel and TYCO had "smokers" in their train sets. My recollection was that the "special smoke oil" was a mixture of very highly refined kerosene and parafin wax. Try a hobby shop such as Hobby Town or some such.

Might try contacting manufacturer for this vintage item, or contact sellers on eBay to ask to purchase copy of instructions. http://www.newbright.com/support/battery-powered-train-faq/ Example on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-Complete-Mint-Condition-Service-Express-Railway-Radio-Control-G-Train-Set/372854424459?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20160908110712%26meid%3Dfd6b8137f24247c0ac8811d494b2c37d%26pid%3D100677%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D30%26sd%3D274112638776%26itm%3D372854424459%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2386202&_trksid=p2386202.c100677.m4598

Your best best is going to E-Bay.

I have purchased 2 remote controlled toy cars from Costco over the years. These New Bright batteris and charges last only a few charges, and then they go bad. I am disappointed. I will go to Walmart and buy a new battery and see if it works better, if not, i will return to Walmart.

What size batteries does the 1986 D and W R.R Denver express take

CHECK FOR SWITCH ON BOTTOM OF TRAIN

The controller and the car must be matched. Sounds like both are matched using the same frequency. Look at the instructions for changing the controller and car to a different frequency Then change one car and controller. try here Technical Documentation New Bright Industrial Co for info

check the electrical current to the trans former , then check the out put from transformer, may not be getting adequate electricity flow to operate , and if you continue to operate under required current , it may damage engine and or transformer , gd luck

Hi,

Sorry to say but New Bright does have these replacement parts hence you need to try hardware stores to see whether you can get a similar adapter . Check the V and the power it should not be an issue.

Thanks

there is no resistance in a fuse it is designed to blow when a short circuit happens after the fuse to protect the circuit fix the problem first

We have no parts for sale here at this website.

depends what the railway is representing. It matters, for example, whether you are in the US or Europe. I recommend that you contact the company to get an unambiguous answer Contact New Bright Further reading on G-gauge can be found here scale Wikipedia the free encyclopedia from which you will understand why it is not straight forward to answer your question with information available. In the US, the article says, " 'Gauge One' scaled at 1:32 (3/8" to the foot) used to model standard gauge trains of 4 ft 8 1?2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge gauge." hope this helps (a bit)

U could buy those brushes to ur nearest hobby store!
