Atlas N C-420 lights only

 I've got a recent run, MTA blue/yellow. It ran when I got it. Put it on tracks tonight, and only lights come on, does not move.
 What is possible problem? Was hoping it would be fine, as I'm trying to shoot a photo of LIRR passenger equipment for train room. Can only shoot at night.
 Thanks,
Joe D

Sounds like the motor contacts are not touching the circuit board. If you can take the shell off, you can adjust the bend in the motor contact to restore the circuit.

Thanks Paul. As soon as I removed shell, loco ran fine. Have to take a look to see if anything is interfering when shell is on.

Shell is on, and it runs fine. Go figure. Mr. Murphy, you've been around a lot!
