Troubleshooting

Train not moving

Check that batteries are correctly inserted and charged in the Powered Up components. Ensure the train is properly placed on the track and the track connections are secure. Verify the remote control or app is paired with the train's receiver.

Track pieces not connecting firmly

Ensure all track sections are clean and free of debris. Press the connection points firmly together until they click. Check for any bent or damaged studs.
