Body: <p>I purchased parts 8879+8884+88000+88002 to power the new Winter Holiday Train.  Fresh out of the package the remote controller 8879 does not make contact with the positive end of the battery. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks to <a href="https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/6354/708">this post</a>, I was able to make an adjustment to the controller so that contact could be made saving me a lot of time and headache. Is there an easy way to get the positive contacts to stick out further?</p>

  I purchased parts 8879+8884+88000+88002 to power the new Winter Holiday Train. Fresh out of the package the remote controller 8879 does not make contact with the positive end of the battery.
