       Legacy Control
       By: tfcii Date: March 12, 2018, 9:16 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       In 2012 I purchased a BN Crane Car (L29885) and a Lionel Legacy
       Control System V1.4.  I played with the Crane using the Legacy
       System that I used in conjunction with an old ZW transformer for
       several months, but I started doing other projects and hobbies
       and had not used the system (or tried to use it) until several
       days ago.  What I discovered was that the batteries in the
       controller will not charge.  I even replaced the batteries with
       new rechargeable batteries, but still no charge.  I have let the
       charger attempt to charge the batteries for 24 hours at at time;
       no luck.  I replaced the batteries with alkaline batteries, but
       the hand-held controller had difficulty finding its base but
       ultimately did so.  I turned on the power to the track and the
       rear light of the crane lit, but I could not get it to do
       anything else.  Basically I have two questions: Why will the
       rechargeable batteries not charge? and Why will the crane not
       work other than the rear light?
       Any help would be basically appreciated.  Thanks.
