Fairly new to the hobby and probably just had a lesson on buying stuff “as-is.”Bought a pre-owned Proto 2000 E7 with sound from a model train store. Tried running it but it won’t move and the light won’t turn on but the sound does work. Paid a decently high price for the loco and in ok cosmetic condition and knew there were risks buying as-is, but did not expect it to not run at all. Any tips for repair or other options?

I just bought a New Old Stock Life Like Proto 2000 EMD E7 and the shell is not going into place properly. Wondering if anyone has had this issue? Or any suggestions to solve it.

I follow the instructions to line up the holes with the pegs to push into place but only one side can go in at a time. Not sure if the plastic may be warped or something else.
