Amazon reshipped a replacement. Same issue!!!
OK this is the fix!! On the top of the engine a small black screw, (don't loose the screw) lift off the engine cover. you will see 2 screws, i just loosed them a touch. Then placed the engine back on the powered track!!! Success. I think the screws were too tight not allowing the motor gear to turn. Replace the engine cover, and enjoy the set.
N-scale set are very tricky but for 100 buck well worth it. I plan on telling Bachmann as the quality control is poor, Thanks for reading
1) Be careful when assembling the tracks. It's called E-Z, but it really should be E-Zier but not foolproof. When the rails connect, they have small metal fittings for the bottom of the metal rails. Make sure these slide in. A number of mine were bent slightly, so I used some needle nose pliers to bend them back. To be fair to Bachman, these issues are covered in the guide to E-Z Track assembly. I'm not big on reading manuals (especially those called E-Z), but I'd definitely suggest glancing at this one.
2) Some reviews talked about loosening the internal screws, and another mentioned loosening the top screw that holds on the cover. I had to fully remove all these screws before the engine would run. Even the one on the top cover, if it was screwed in at all, even lightly, the engine wouldn't move. To reiterate what others have said, remove the top screw and cover, and then you'll see two screws on the side of the engine block. I would try loosening them first as others have said, but if that doesn't work, then I would just remove them altogether. My locomotive seems to run fine without them.
3) Even after this, the train still wouldn’t run reliably. It would just stop frequently. I could get it to run again by pressing down lightly on the engine, so I ended up taping 3 quarters on top (see video). After running the engine around the loop a few times, I could take the quarters off and it would still run reliably.
4) Finally, connecting the cars was a bit of a pain, but it was easy once I figured out to lower them in, then put the car on the track, instead of the more intuitive method of putting the car on the track and then rolling it to connect the couplers.
Once I did all that, the train seemed to run fine. I can run it at any speed, even all the way up, without derailment or problem.
