It was new in the box for $25. Good deal! I thought..... So I finally got a chance to try it out after a few weeks, and it does not work. It seems whenever I set it on the track nothing happens. When I push it or move it a bit, then it might work a little. I have to "twist" it between the rails to get some type of connection or movement. By twisting it, I mean that it's setting on the track, then from above I grab it, and turn left or right to get a little movement. Does anyone know what may be the issue or can point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

Here's a link to the manual for your track inspection vehicle: (HTM) http://www.lionel.com/media/servicedocuments/71-8436-250.pdf You'll want to make certain that your wheels & other electrical pick up points are clean. Check to make sure that your back to back wheel spacing is correct and the wheels & axles properly lubricated. Also a good time to clean your track and make continuity checks around your layout. Happy Rails! Dave *****************************************************
