ERR Mini Commander problem

Rayin"S"OGR Forum Member

This happened to a friend, he was running an AF engine with an ERR Mini Commander board installed and he had a pile up. His ERR equipped engine ran into the back of another train at a good rate of speed with enough force to derail both trains. After he straightened it all out and put the trains back on track the engine with the ERR board does not run, the lights will change as he reverses it with the Cab 1 but the engine does not run. He has Powermasters on all rails for circuit protection. Any ideas of what to look for?

Start by looking to see if something got dislodged in the crash. No parameters to set on the MC2, other than the ID. I'd probably try changing it's ID, just to see if that clears anything out.

Check to see that the motors will turn the drivetrain freely. I did the same thing with a FM Trainmaster and it jammed the drivetrain on one of the trucks.
