My friend’s 1991 Lionel diesel with two AC Pullmor motors that someone nicely upgraded with an ERR AC Commander, runs well a while and then just stops, usually just after passing through a switch (Lionel 0-72’s). The headlight remains on, the Diesel roar continues, but the unit will now not respond to Cab-1-L commands. To reset whatever did the deed, you turn off track power, then back on, and address the engine normally. All runs well again. ???
I’ve never seen this in any other Lionel or aftermarket equipped command unit. I tried to sell the owner on the idea that the train runs long enough between stops so that we could consider it prototypical if we just imagined fantasy stations (it’s about a 70’ run around his 24 x 14 folded dog bone layout). Even so, we are curious.
