I am currently looking to upgrade my Lionel lion master challenger with an ERR cruise commander.  I am not too sure which board would be correct.  The cruise commander M has 2 two prong plug ins on the board; while the original tmcc board is no less than 3 prong.  6-38021 part number for reference.  This engine is too amazing to be a wall hanger in my dorm. Any advice helps!

You need a bit more diagnostics before tossing expensive parts at it, …….the motor will run on DC power, disconnect the motor from all boards, and you can test the motor with a DC source, …..( old H.O. Power pack, etc.)  you can actually support the locomotive on some fashioned blocks, get the wheels off the ground, and apply DC power to test all the mechanicals,…..

I generally use a standard 9v battery to test DC motors. Quick, easy, nothing to set up or plug in...
