Purchased this Loco about 10 years ago.

 

Its hasn't run few a few years.

 

I have removed bodyshell and cleaned. 

 

It now moves ok but there is no Lights or sound.

 

any ideas ?

 

 

Here it is:-

I'm assuming it did have lights and sound at some point, not all 37's that age had them.

Would be good to see a picture of the chassis without the body on as there were several different ways that the light connections were made.

Is that Coedbach?  If so, it definitely did have sound and lights when new

Coedbach had a factory sound fitted loksound 3.5, all Bachmann 37s had lights from the start, as coedbach is retooled 37 it would have the little fingers protruding out of the light units, 9 times out of 10 light problems are due to this not making contact with the board on the chassis.

 

as regards the sound id check that one of the wires has not come adrift from the speaker, i have had 100ohm speaker burn the coil out so it might be worth checking with a multimeter that the speaker is not open circuit and is still 100ohms.
