       No power to track

       I have a 1947 "O" gauge Lionel set up.  It is a small set I got
       as a kid.  The engine stopped running and no power to the
       caboose light.  The Transformer RED light comes on when turned
       on.  No power to the engine, no caboose light.  Any idea what
       might be wrong?  Thanks for any help.

       Hello & Welcome to the Forum.
       It appears that you have a dead short somewhere.
       Does the red light come on if the transformer is not hooked up
       to the track, when you power it up?
       if you have a tester check to see if short is in transformer or
       elsewhere.
       Possibly a bad piece of track, age gremlins got to the
       insulation on the rails or on wires,
       just keep checking til you find the short.
       Happy Rails!
