It's probably the circuit board that you can get here http://www.mypegperegoparts.com/meva0024.html but you can also contact their repair desk 1-801-655-0800

Currently, I can suggest only you contact peg-perego's uk representative Mamas & Papas at the address given on the following webpage

If they have anything you would like, I believe that delivery can be arranged, and you will not have to go to Huddersfield.

(http://global.pegperego.com site > support tells you how to contact UK rep.)

I suspect that track for the choo-choo model is compatible with what you are looking for (but that doesn't seem to be available at present either. You might try ebay, but be careful to check that you are buying exactly what you need.

Hi

Have you tried keep pressing the right hand button down. When you press the button down and hold the press, then the sounds are finished, the trains starts driving. When you release the button the train stops at once.

I cannot promise that this is the problem, but this is where mine was broken, and you may be able to fix yours this way.

I was able to remove the plastic around the tender and access the motor. Using alligator clips, I was able to connect the battery directly to the motor, bypassing the circuit board. The motor functioned, therefore the only component that seemed to be defective was the circuit board, located behind the speaker in the engine unit.

As far as I know, the only place to buy a replacement circuit board is from www.tigerimports.com. Search for part number MEVA0024. Cost is around $15 + shipping (around $6 or so).

I should be receiving this part by the end of the week and will report if it fixed the problem.

Thanks for using Fixya. If I didn't help your situation, please DO NOT label this advise as "inappropriate".

The red button on the right must be held down for anything to move. It turns the lights on, makes some train noises, then moves forward. If you don't hold the button down, nothing will happen. Note that when the train is underway, the left red button becomes a train whistle. Otherwise, when the train is not running, that left button produces music. Hope this helps.

It could be a bad switch or the music board has a bad contact.

Sometimes the battery and/or the charger can go bad. If the battery is less than 6 volts on a multimeter, it won't operate for long. Is the headlight bright or dim? Remember that the button has to be held down to run. Releasing the button will stop the train.

If neither of the above works, you may want to order a new circuit board from tigerimports.com.

Good luck!
