Can't get drive motor to work

Your last question is very valid and yes that is very probable. If it's been a year or two on that battery ,then it's probably time. To be sure , get a small volt meter and see how many volts the battery has after charge. You can get a little more life out of it if you drain the battery alllll the way down. It might last a time or two or so but good luck . Oh motors are generally fused so it is possible you could have just blown one. Just trace wire down to find , Good Luck.

Having same problem. When I wire the battery directly to the derive motor, the train moves. I'm told it's the circuit board (meva0024). Does anyone know where to get an inexpensive one? They are listed on some sites for $19.95 but unavailable. I'm not giving Peg Perego $60.00- $70.00 for it.

Thanks for your help.

Hello, I remove the battery from thomas the train to charge. I'm having the same problem thomas doesn't move but the music does play even after I removed the battery.
