       Lionel 6-8307 Daylight Suddenly Stopped Running

       Hey Community,
       After an extreme amount of testing and cleaning in preparation
       for Christmas, my son's new Lionel 6-8307 Daylight stopped
       working after an hour or so of intermittent runtime.
       If the engine is on the track, none of the lights turn on,
       there's no hum, and the sound of steam and horn dont work.  If I
       take the engine off the track, however, the passenger car lights
       come back on, and brighten or dim based on how high I set the
       dial.  This leads me to believe it's DEFINITELY a short
       somewhere in the engine, but after taking the cab apart and
       inspecting the wires, I dont see any loose or dirty connections.
       Is there a common issue I should troubleshoot for, or is it time
       to send the engine in to the shop?
       - Rob

       If you can't fix it, I hope you kept your receipt.
       I'm sorry this happened to you, but you should be able to get
       either a replacement or a refund.
