Hi everyone.  I just purchased an O scale Polar Express with the LionChief controller.  When the track is connected, the red light on the terminal track is steady red.  When I place the engine on the track, the red light blinks and the engine's headlight blinks and nothing works.  So I removed the engine and placed one of the passenger cars on the track.  The red light again starts to blink and the interior light in the car blink.  No where in the instructions does it mention blinking LEDs.  Can anyone help?  Thanks

I figured out it's the transformer.  Borrowed a friend's and everything works.
