Broke two trains in one day! | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I was running my Lionel Burlington Zephyr and picked up a loose wire I left on the layout during maintenance. Now it won't move. Good sound though. I have reprogrammed per the manual but it is DOA. Then to further make my day I broke some tiny detail on the brand new Atlas O California Zephyr Car I received today. Geez what a clutz! Very nice cars but a little big for 072 curves. I don't know why but F3's are perennial favorites with me and they will would look very nice pulling these cars.

Very frustrating.

PUT EVERYTHING DOWN NOW! ;-)

My guess on the Zephyr - tiny piece of the wire got stuck in the gearing. That is well beyond my ability to fix, so if it were mine it would go to a repair shop before I did anything further.

Hope it it fixed soon.
