Hello from Claes in Sweden!
I looked after a LGB 2080 on Ebay, but they are very expensive, and became owner to a Newqida RC instead.
Reason was simply that I wanted a smaller loco, because my analogue LGB mallet steam 2085 D is a bit heavy to lift down from the bookshelf. I thought that the LGB 2080 looked less museal than all the other smaller LGB:s. But next spring I plan some layout in front of our cottage house on the countryside by the sea. I thought why not a RC G-scale with sound and a remote Control? Well, the loco looks new and seems not to have run at all. But an adapter for the charger was needed because our wallcontacts pins are different from the UK. A new battery was put in the remote Control and off we go I thought.
I put the main contact to "on", placed on the water tank on the left side, but nothing happended. 
I also pressed the buttons in the cab. The Ni-cd battery pack delivers power, I tested it by putting a cable to the red and black cables from the motor on the Circuit card (where all te cables seems to be in Place and correctly solded) and it worked and the unrealistic blueish lamps were working as well. The RC may not have power because the control led in the cab is not working. So how to proceed in the troubleshooting? Any suggesteons?
