Another common problem: broken steps on the tender. The 2671W is a desirable tender, but all four steps have to be intact. Some 2671W tenders have a back-up light consisting of a light bar mounted inside the back of the tender shell, with little lenses stuck in the "portholes" on the back wall of the tender, and an old school light socket mounted to the tender floor.
Madison Hardware sold kits to add your own backup light for many years. These parts may have been original Lionel factory parts. Don't know for certain.
And be certain to check the cowcatcher for bends. I've seen a large number of turbines with bent cowcatchers.
