Engine Won’t Move and Light just Flickers
Roger posted his O gauge model 8644 question:
“I was pulling 11 cars yesterday and today the engine just sits there and the light flickers on and off, pulsating trying to move. I’m thinking I shorted it out. I ran other engines on the track to be sure the track is good. Thanks.”

check nothing is jammed in the wheels or gears, and see if it needs lubricating.
Clean the wheels of the engine and also the track.
