If it is new and under warranty, exchange or refund from the dealer. If not, check with local hobby shops that carry MTH as to who might be available locally to repair.
How about we check some things before you go wishing ill will on anybody?…..when you turn off your transformer at the switch, be sure both handles are down and parked at zero. If that is good, do both sides of the display board light up with numbers?…if so, what are they reading?….is the red light blinking?…..and lastly, check your wire lugs on the front of the transformer, have one or more of your wires popped off accidentally?……..call back the pitchforks, tar, & feathers until you’ve exhausted the simple stuff,….

What does this tool look like?
Ron
The one at O'Reillys was a headlight adjuster. It was just barely long enough.
@PRRronbh posted:Pat, thanks. I presume it is 3mm?
Ron
Yep, …Jon G. mentioned that above as well, …3mm, it needs to be at least 10” long, ……
