Do you have a voltmeter / multimeter, or if all else fails, just an ordinary 12 or 15V bulb handy? Just to check if you actually have any power on your (test) track? While tucking wires into a rail joiner is not very reliable, it may still work for test purposes. If you have no power, perhaps there's a blown fuse in the system? Is it in some sort of programming mode perhaps which stops you from actually controlling a train? Just thinking out loud here :-)
