Have you put the IR receiver between the battery pack and train motor? Sounds to me its missing the IR receiver.

If it is fitted, then make sure both the remote and receiver are on the same channel, then you should be able to change the speed.

You have to put the IR receiver in line between the battery box and motor. That is what is regulating the voltage to the motor. http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=58123c01&idColor=86#T=C&C=86
